Go navy. This is the last carrier in this series. The next carrier will have a new redesign. Nothing like our carrier fleet on the planet. Huge floating acres of sovereign American territory.

Man, oh man,
That is some crane lifting the bow "super lift" into position.

When the contract for CVN 77 was let, there was talk of incorporating some of the design features of the next series of carriers. Features such as stealthy superstructure, greatly increased automation and smaller crew.

780 tons seems a bit light for a carrier.

How thick is the metal on an aircraft carrier?
Does the Navy still use wood for decks or steel?
Are sailors still portioned a measure of rum each day or did that custom end?

It will be the USS Bill Clinton, count on it. After the USS Carter, the USS Reagan, and the USS George H Bush, it's Clinton's turn.

If anyone wants to be truly impressed, visit Newport News. Go downtown to the shipyard area and look at a carrier under construction or refit the tallest building in Newport News is any carrier in the shipyard. These ships are truly huge, but they dont look all that big until you get within a few blocks of the shipyard.

In all honesty I would hope that if he gets anything it's an Auxillary of some sort, something low end as possible.

The 780 tons is just a very small (?) bow section.
