1,500 crew? Don't most of the US fleet carry as many as 5,000 per carrier?
Yes they do. The Brits carrier will be about 2/3 the size of a Nimitz class and carry less than half as many aircraft. But, it will still be a very powerful warship.

Kind of a mid-size?

On a related note, I happened upon an episode of "Carrier" on PBS the other night, and it was excellent. A surprisingly indepth look at life inside the US Navy.
