Radars are important as well, and for that fact, Japan should be ranked ahead or on par with the PLA, since they have a lot of advanced AEGIS destroyers.
 
by quantity.

That quantity includes unarmed petrol vessels as well. According to figures Iran has got small patrol crafts including speed boat around 370 in figure and less that 50 ton in displacement so does that make iran 4th most powerfull navy?
 
This system of missiles getting huge rating boosts because they are longer ranged is not wholly accurate.Long range missiles have limitations on engagement envelope and menuverability.Otherwise everybody would be using only those.
 
Aircraft carrier list (only fixed wing):

USA
10 Nimitz - 12 F/A-18C, 24 F-18E, 5 E-2C, 5 EA-6B (typical wing, can be much more)
8 Wasp - 6-20 Harrier II
1 Tarawa - 6 Harrier II

France
1 Charles de Gaulle - 10 Rafale M, 12 Super-Etandard, 2 E-2C (up to 40 total)

Russia
1 Admiral Kuznetsov - 14 Su-33 + 4 Su-25 (28 MiG-28K planned), AEW Ka-31 helo

China
1 Liaoning - 24 J-15, AEW Ka-31 helo

India
1 Viraat - Sea Harrier
1 Vikramaditya - 20 MiG-29K (up to 24 total), AEW Ka-31 helo

Spain
1 Juan Carlos I - Harrier II

Italy
1 Giuseppe Garibaldi - Harrier II
1 Cavour - 8 Harrier II

Brazil
1 Sao Paulo - 14 A-4

This system of missiles getting huge rating boosts because they are longer ranged is not wholly accurate.Long range missiles have limitations on engagement envelope and menuverability.Otherwise everybody would be using only those.
The reason why everybody is not using them is that they are extremely expensive. Compare price of Buk and S-400 systems for example. Also ships with long range systems have short range systems as well usually.

Vikramaditya refurbished can hold max 36 aircraft including max 24 mig-29k.Current fleet is 20 mig-29ks i think,not 16.

India bought 12 single seat MiG-29K, 4 double seat MiG-29KUB and 6 Ka-31. There is an option for another 14 MiG-29K.

We signed 2 seperate deals.for 16 aircraft in 2004..these deliveries were completed by 2011 when the black panthers squadron was made operational.
We made a second deal for additional 29 mig-29k in 2010.These deliveries began in 2012.We have already recieved/are recieving a number of these new deal fighters.

Our current inventory is 30 odd mig-29ks.first deal completed by early 2012.In 2012 second batch 4 delivered.in 2013 7 more.In 2014 not known.
