The US Navy's MOST ADVANCED Aircraft Carrier | USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78

In this video, we take an in-depth look at the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), the most advanced aircraft carrier ever built by the U.S. Navy. As the lead ship of the Ford-class carriers, the USS Gerald R. Ford boasts revolutionary technology, including the cutting-edge Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG), and a Dual Band Radar system. We explore the ship’s impressive size, power generation, and nuclear propulsion, which allows it to operate for decades without refueling.
We also dive into the incredible costs and investment behind this vessel, with over $13 billion in construction and billions more in research and development. But, what truly sets this carrier apart is its future-proof design, prepared to integrate directed energy weapons and unmanned aircraft systems in the coming years.
