Go Navy! Was on the USS JFK CV-67 during Shield/Storm and worked in waist cats. Bravo Zulu guys. This brings back some outstanding memories. Fair winds and following seas.
Incredible vessel; just hope we have defensive systems to keep it operational if the balloon goes up. And I sure hope they aren't publicized on CZcams!
I noticed you have reverted back to the tried and tested system for launching Planes of the deck .. Was expecting to catch sight of the Magnetic system in operation . I guess there was far too much issues with it .. Any idea's when the first Models of the Carrier will be available to buy ???
It's weird not seeing steam rising from the CATs...or the big RADAR arrays spinning away on the island, or behind it. Looks like they have a great ship...bonus, one of them will be named Enterprise(CVN-80).
Also why doesn't the navy build a trihull design and have more space on the deck e.g. two smaller floats one on each side also stop torpedoes and mussels hitting the main body of the boat
100,000 tons Length of 3 football fields Enough nuclear power to sustain a City 90 warplanes , larger then most countries air forces global range nuclear powered A massive floating airport and we have 10 of these ships add all the planes together it's almost 900 in total simple math 90 times 10 correct me if wrong
Gerald R. Ford more technically advanced than the Apollo Program? Nice understatement...my iPhone is more technically advanced than the Apollo Program.
Just a Question from non-american: Why USN ships named after former US presidents rather than sailors or marines? Don't they deserve recognition than presidents? 🤔
I think America must be help india to make a small aircraft carrier (almost 30000 or 40000 ton) like uss Gerald R Ford to counter china and it's threats
Será que existe alguém no mundo que poderia realizar o maior sonho da minha vida eu sou muito apaixonado pela USNAVY e por sua aviação desde de criancinha quando eu assistia filmes antigos da segunda guerra mundial como a batalha de Midiway eu fiquei fascinado com a gloriosa USNAVY infelizmente moro no interior de Minas Gerais no Brasil e sou muito pobre e sozinho jamais conseguirei realizar o grande sonho de toda minha vida o de conhecer um porta aviões seus tripulantes e seus aviões será que existe a possibilidade de ter alguma pessoa no mundo que poderia realizar meu sonho sou uma pessoa muito humilde e peço a Jesus Cristo uma chance de realizar esse sonho, se alguém puder me ajudar responda aí por favor?
Thats not entirely how it works. Aircraft Carriers are generally named after Presidents who have either served in the Navy/Marine Corps or have bolstered U.S. naval power. But then again, the naming conventions for U.S. ships, namely aircraft carriers, are so broke maybe you'll get lucky.
currently back at Huntington Ingalls for refit. fancy schmancy new electromagnetic, state of the art launch system doesn't work. i guess steam is still king. aircraft elevators don't work either. come on navy. let's get yer $hit together.
The US Navy top brass can't handle complexity. They are to ship building what GM is to cars: don't reinvent from first principles, just have the subcontractors blow smoke up your ass and wait to have them hire you after you retire. The Navy needs an Elon Musk.

Wrong. It was first in class with all new technologies. The follow on carriers that are being built are ahead of schedule and under budget using the lessons learned building the Ford. It was an investment for the future ships of the class
Awarded a contract to build a new carrier for 10.8 billion, then charge the Navy 13 billion+ for a ship that once commissioned can't launch aircraft, can't break out ammo from the magazines, and from what I've read has a myriad of other technical problems.............sounds about right...(our tax dollars at work ! )
Well brainiac you are obviously CLUELESS about front line ship construction. Ever since 1955 every single ship is built to survive EMP. So no, they won't have issues brainiac
Just got my orders on the USS Gerald R Ford 2 days ago!
Damn your lucky. Navy wont accept me because of medical disqualifications.
Good luck Shipmate. From a retired OS1(SW/AW)
@@RetiredSailor60 Thank you for your service. Fair Winds and Following Seas ⚓
Have a blast!
Be strong it’s a big job to be on that ship. Have fun in Virginia!
I'm old Navy. CVA63 for Nam and 3 med cruises on the CVA60. DAMN I MISS IT SOMETIMES.
Thanks for your service Shipmate. OS1(SW/AW) Retired.
I love the ocean but at the same time I am terrified of it.

If you do get it I’ll be jealous af
Good luck Shipmate.

I grew up and played pop Warner football with Capt. J.J. Cummings. School mate and well known around here. Go Navy
Nice to see the catapult working. I wonder how reliable it is now ?
Still breaks all the time lol
Oh bro nice to have these ships
View great ships bro
Can't wait to start OCS in 2 years after college then be a Naval Aviator and be stationed on this carrier or another

They are electromagnetic hence no steam rolling across the deck
Salute to the sailors, heart of a ship
Great Job 💯

Probably too big/wide with our current shipyards, thats one of the problems the Navy is trying to rectify.

By far
But apollo was still amazing. They had balls

I hope the ray guns work.

Is this the new flag ship?
Not exactly. We have several fleets. Ford is not in full service yet.

It’s over complicated just more shit to go wrong. If an emp went off it would be useless
Well brainiac you are obviously CLUELESS about front line ship construction. Ever since 1955 every single ship is built to survive EMP. So no, they won't have issues brainiac
This ship sucks hope they fix this one and the ones after it don’t have the same issues.
Its the first in its class. Once they identify whatever problems plague it, the transition to building future ships would be quicker.
