The "weight" of a modern US Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is expressed as its "displacement". The latest class of carriers, the Nimitz class, has a displacement of more than 97,000 tons (long tons) or 98,000 tonnes.

β 9y agoThe USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), the tenth and last Nimitz-class carrier to be built, displaces approximately 102,000 long tons (114,000 short tons).
Right, but the question wasn't what the displacement is. The question was, how much does it WEIGH? Displacement is simply how much water the ship displaces when floating. Water isn't as dense as steel, so the ship's actual dry weight on land will be different than the water it pushes out of the way. What that weight is for a Nimitz class ship doesn't seem to be available on search. Perhaps it is classified information. Therefore, the question remains unanswered.

What is the maximum size and weight of a aircraft carrier or battleship or any sea vessel can weigh to still be able to float in the ocean?
There is no maximum theoretically. As long as the weight of the water being displaced is greater than the weight of the ship itself, it will float. That's why a 1 pound steel ball sinks, but a 90,000 ton aircraft carrier made out of the same material floats.
