How many 30 fighters ?
Yes, 30 is the max ever recorded on deck.

Are we counting aircraft on the flight deck? .....Humm? Count these!
An aerial view of various aircraft lining the flight decks of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS USS Independence (CV-62), top, and USS Midway (CV-41) moored beside each other at Naval Station Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (USA), on 23 August 1991. Midway was en route from Naval Station, Yokosuka, Japan, to Naval Air Station North Island, California (USA), where it was decommissioned on 11 April 1992. Independence travelled to Yokosuka to take over as the U.S. Navy's forward-based aircraft carrier.
Date 23 August 1991
USS (AF-55) resupplies USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) and USS (DLG-9) during a WestPac deployment, 1964.
This photo is believed to have been taken on 6 November 1970, as USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63), with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 11 embarked, departed North Island, San Diego, California, on her 5th Vietnam War Cruise (6 November 1970–17 July 1971). USS (CVS-14) is astern of Kitty Hawk.

I agree that if there are errors it should be pointed out. You should note the different schematics are not to scale. Can you please be more specific as to why they are wrong. ,

CNO Warns Forum of Challenges of ‘Great Power Competition’

“What is more relevant for the future? Is it the Harry S. Truman or something else,” he said, noting that revolutionary technologies “are just around the corner.”
The CNO was responding to a question about the Navy’s fiscal 2020 proposal to retire the aircraft carrier Truman at midlife — rather than refueling her — to free up funds to develop the future technologies.

New talk about joint European carrier strike group between France and Germany
A EU CBG would supplement the UKs two carriers
Reminds me of the European aerial tanker fleet for so long we were dependent on the Americans and then we got our own
Maybe European carrier reality is if Europeans all jointly join the programme
Even Dutch have some good amphibious assets to help form EU Amphibous ready group (ARG) with French LHD
Italy has some very good FFG for Air defence too
Amazing that UK did it alone
However UK no longer has the amphibious capability after selling off HMS Ocean
2 x Albion class and 1 x LHD backed by Bay class would form a decent ARG
To rely on a 65,000 full blown carrier for rotary wing is criminal
