All of America's supercarriers have been nuclear powered since the USS Kitty Hawk was decommissioned in 2009.

But if you include "amphibious assault ships" like the Wasp class, which can carry a lot of helicopters and STOVL airplanes like the F-35B and Harrier, then US Navy still has a lot of conventional powered carriers.
