Navies of the world which have the ships to operate such aircraft:
One.

Pity the Brits don't get this.

Japan has used E-2s I believe.

The French fly them from a carrier. Taiwan flies them in a land-based mode.
Israel used to fly them.

Japan has not used them from carriers and the next Frog carrier (to
match the E-2D timeframe) won't be able to.

Plans for a half dozen Nip carriers would bring Chinese pressure on
North Korea faster than you can say "Kim Impossible".

In sci.military.naval hcobb twisted the electrons to say:

Seeing as how the French haven't decided if they're going to get a second
carrier yet[1] how can you be so sure that said carrier when/if it turns
up will not be compatiable with the E-2?

Oh I think you find the RN gets this completely ... Hence why it's had
AEW / ASAC aircraft since 1982. It's just that the current government
would ordinarily prefer to spend the $$$ on moreschoolsandhospitals(TM)
and ATM wants to keep it's head down because the people are being
"nasty" to it!

Er, except for a brief interlude (late 70s early 80s) the RN has had
AWACS since just after WW2

I seem to remember that in late 1944, or early
1945 the RAF were developing,
an AWACS type of system, so that
the bombers could go deep into Germany.

Some testing was done with a modified Wellington but
it never entered service. The first AEW aircraft to enter
squadron service was the AEW Avenger. The RN used
the AEW Skyraider equipped with the APS-20 radar
which was in turn superseded by the Fairey Gannet.

The responsibility for AEW remained with the RN until the
retirement of the Fleet carriers and Gannet in the early 1970's

The first operational RAF AEW unit was 8 Squadron equipped
with Shackletons equipped with the now rather elderly APS-20
radars in 1972.
