Current-day nuclear-powered supercarriers of the US Navy can run at a top speed of well over 30 knots (the exact speed is classified). For various reasons (due to size, cost, propulsion choices, and other factors), other country's aircraft carriers have top speeds of 27-30 knots.
In WW2, most large fleet carriers of the major combatants (US, UK, and Japan) had a top speed in the 30-33 knot range.
