How many CSO-class Suppercarriers are there left?. We know that High Charity’s defence fleet had multiple (whatever that means) apart from that the only others that we know of are the LNOS and the Sublime Transcendence both of which where destroyed. Do you think that any former covenant factions have any?.
On a side note how awesome would it be to see a Suppercarrier again.
I’m guessing less than ten, maybe around 6 or 7 at the most. The HW2 trailer takes place in the wreckage of a Supercarrier, but I would suspect that would be perhaps Truth’s ship. I doubt the SOF took it out.
There should be some still around somewhere. Who knows, maybe someone is secretly keeping low profile on building more of them. Maybe some were abandoned and left to afloat in space or crashed on a world/moon. But I do believe some are still out there.

CAS Assault Carrier at most. There were no CSOs involved in the battle over Installation 00.
There’s probably very few that are still existent.
The CSO class was retired when the Covenant fell. The Covenant was the only faction with enough people and resources to construct one. Neither the Banished nor the Covenant Remnant have the resources, money or population to acquire one. If for some odd reason a faction decided to construct one they would need to go through decades of mining and refinement just to get the necessary resources to construct one. You needed more than a cities worth of Covenant warship-grade nanolaminates to build one. Then you needed tens of thousands of workers to construct them without including the equipment and machinery that was also required. Then you need once again tens of thousands of highly trained and experienced crew members to crew the monstrosity.
The ship’s are impractical for any group smaller than the Covenant. There’s a reason there were so few of them. The Infinity cost half of the UNSC’s budget during a time when they received the most funding. Imagine what a ship five times larger would do for another faction.

Sounds like the process of acquiring an EvE Titan.
Though I would argue against the complete impracticality of one being active in the post-war period, at least in a specific role - being used as a mobile habitation center/(super)capital city, like a mini-High Charity. Most of the weapons would have been stripped out and replaced with water treatment plants/storage tanks and large-scale agricultural zones (think a DSC, but writ-large, and far more industrialized than the wide open landscape on a Designated Support Craft). Most of the hangars would be permanently sealed shut for the same purpose.
