Since the US has more carriers than the rest of the world combined how
many more are necessary?


Here's an aswer for that:

Basically, few of them are operational at any time: maintenance, training,
travel time, etc...

The bigger the ship, the more major weapons hits it can take...

In a carrier, that's irrelevant, in terms of mission-capability. A
lucky hit on the catapults or arrestor gear and it's off to the
shipyard
