US Is Testing Its New Gigantic $13 Billions Aircraft Carrier

US Is Testing Its New Gigantic $13 Billions Aircraft Carrier.
The history of US aircraft carriers began over 100 years ago, in 1910. However, the first full-fledged tactical and operational aircraft carrier formations of the US Navy were formed before the outbreak of World War II.
Now the American fleet has 11 aircraft carriers - 10 Nimitz class and one Gerald Ford class.
Another giant was launched - the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy, which is called the aircraft carrier of the 21st century. The USS John F. Kennedy is the second in a series of ten Gerald R. Ford-class ships. The new aircraft carriers will replace the Nimitz-class ships that have been in service since 1975.
Aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy is the grandest and most expensive aircraft carrier in the history of mankind. At least $ 13 billion was spent on its creation. The final figure will be even higher. The service life of the ship should exceed 50 years.

I spent 3 yrs on the Coral Sea. Lots of welding on the various steam systems. Also served on the "Big E". First nuke powered carrier. Awesome machines. 3500 in ships crew, over 6000 with air wing on board. Not much personal space. Loved every minute!!!

I served on USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) for 3 years in the 90s. She was the ONLY ship of her class. She was considered a variant of the Kitty Hawk-class, only because she was conventionally powered...the very last one in the fleet. The original intent was for her to be the second Enterprise-class nuclear carrier, but was redesigned due to lack of funding.

Nimitz was the greatest 5 star Admiral, he deserved to have a class of ship named after him!

Interesting but down voted for misleading thumbnail. Also, aircraft carriers today have less to do with providing real tactical support against developed armies and have more to do with providing political pressure. Coordinated batteries of modern missile systems can overwhelm and sink any ship, including those with advanced long range defenses.

The only question is how many and how fast.

I served aboard the original U.S.S. John F. Kennedy, CV-67. "Big John" V-4 division from 1992-1994. The last of the boiler powered super carriers, she WAS NOT a Kitty Hawk-class carrier. She was in her own class, similar to Enterprise, CV-65, in that JFK was supposed to receive nuclear reactors. However, due to the increased spending in Vietnam, boilers were used and the reactors for JFK were used in the U.S.S. Eisenhower, CV-69.

i think i saw somewhere that carriers only get like 33% or 50% uptime. it will deploy for a year or 2 then go in for maintenance for 18 months . also crew training takes a long time so being ready to fight is way less than 100%. that's why we need a bunch of them.

So CLICKBAIT again, it showed something out of what looked like a scifi film then WW2 and I can't even be bothered to see if this is the Ford class or just BS

I did a couple world cruises,
USS AMERICA CVA-66 back in the 60s.
My favorite part was, when they park for swim-call, on the equator, we brought our own shade.

Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

I for one support the transition to battle stars and commend the navy for taking this long over due step.

I served on the "Connie" and enjoyed every minute of it, especially watching Dolphins racing alongside trying to keep up! Nevertheless and despite all that new firepower it's still a BIG target.

You don't have to lie about the picture on the front when you can come up with such a good documentary 👍

The amount of machining on this vehicle to make it look like something in Battlefield 2042 is amazing

Corrections:
1. Huntington Ingalls is not a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman. They are an independent, publicly traded company.
2. CVN77 is the George H.W. Bush, not the George W. Bush. It's named after the dad, not the son.

I really appreciate this figure of a boat and it makes me want to invent myself

I had the fortunate fun of being on the USS Carl Vinson for two weeks as a detachment, besides all the work we did it was a awesome experience. They have so many things you could talk about and some you can't but let me tell you they said this aircraft carrier can go 35mph; I don't know if it's a secret or not lol, but I do believe this carrier can do the 35 mph etc; while I was on the Vinson, boy let me tell you just watching the white water berhind the ship, that baby can scream right along. To me, it;s a very fast boat, and I dare say its' much more than the 35 mph posted here. I loved the carrier so much, and I really loved the speed and the whitewater it would churn up. :) Just thought I'd share a bit, but I truly think the 35 mph of the carriers are much more understated than they really are. :) Have a great day :)>

I was there for 3 years from 1981-1985 was a brand new ship at that time and we went out for 8 months world cruise and 8 months West PAC.

I was on the Big John back in the 1970's and it was the last conventionally powered carrier built.
