Actually the French deployed their carrier in support of NATO operation in Afghanistan.
Hopefully the Royal Navy will get their 2 carriers built soon, and the French with their 2nd carrier.
Other nations have carriers, but I think they are more for show or for regional power projection. Only the USN, RN and Marine Nationale regularly deploy around the world with their carriers.
