The Brits retired their Harrier fleet, but the USMC still has 142 (including 16 trainers) in service, while Spain has 16 and Italy has 14 for their light carriers, and India has 12 Sea Harriers (the British naval version) onboard their older carrier, which is due to be retired in the next two years.
