Why is “nuclear powered” in the title? All carriers are like that it can power the ship for decades.

You know they just put it there for clicks. It doesn’t matter at all to the content that it’s nuclear-powered but the word “nuclear” is getting them clicks and it’s gross.

There are several non-nuclear fixed-wing carriers in service worldwide. France has three other carriers that are not nuclear, though they’re helicopter-only and therefore not considered by some to be in the same category.
