And they are retiring the USS Enterprise now...
The 1st new Ford Class carrier, the USS Ford, CVN-78 is now (as of April) 75% structurally complete and due to launch in 2013 and commission in 2015. The second, CVN-79, USS John F. Kennedy, started building last year.
She deserves a seperate thread and as she gets closer I will post one.
We'll be down to ten carrier groups until she is launched and commissioned (which will take 18-24 months) and then be back at eleven groups by 2015.
