whether she is the first super carrier not from the USN is debatable. I recall some people called the Shinano, the 70000 ton japanese carrier built on top of a incomplete yamato class battleship hull and lasted all of 10 days between commissioning and sinking, to be the first supercarrier. She certainly outweighed the Forrestal class, which almost people agree to be bonafide super carriers
