Your source says the carrier is quick, with a top speed of 30 kts. Even allowing for understating true speed, compared to the Enterprise, which I think was rated at 50 kts but probably maxed at at 60+, the Gerald R Ford is, just like its namesake, a little slow. I keed, I keed!

I wasn’t defending it, I was providing more information.

At operational load and draft Enterprise might have got up to 32 knots.
