Exactly, the new Ford Class Carrierswill be the largest, most powerful, most modern, and most capable aircraft carrier afloat, bar none.

With their electro-magnetic catapaults, with the two new reactors delivering 200% of the power on the Nimitz class, with her air wing of Super Hornets and Joint Strike Fighters, with her capability to install Laser CIWS and rail-gun technology (probably before 2025 for the CIWS), and with her capability for upgrade and addition of new technologies, they will be the King of the Seas (particularly as protected with AEGIS vessels and Virginia Class SSNs) for decades and decades to come.

...and with the new naval “sodomy is perfectly natural” training being implemented the “King of the Seas” will no doubt have many “Queens of the Seas” aboard and ready for action. Mike Mullen and Admiral Rough-Head will be proud!
