Brazil has Minas Gerais (ex- Vengeance). I believe she is the only RN
carrier that served during the war that has not yet been made into
razor blades.

A surprisingly large number of British carriers were started during
the war but not completed until after the war. These are not
technically WW2 carriers, but are very similar to them (only better).
Of those, a number still exist today. China has ex-HMAS Melbourne
(rumor has it she is to be a casino). India's Vikrant (ex-Hercules) is
to be a museum. India's Viraat (ex-Hermes) is still in service.

Those throwaway British carriers were very good designs. Nearly all counties who operated carriers post WW2 used ex British carriers at some point. France, Holland, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, India. I'm not sure if Canada did too.
