4 Billion does seem excessive .... Trump is more than likely positioning to negotiate the same project and for a lower cost.
A $13 billion U.S. aircraft carrier is about to hit the open seas. Its the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), the most expensive and most advanced warship ever built.
The Naval behemoth can house more than 4,500 people and weighs 90,000 tons. The CVN-78 is the lead ship in the Ford class of aircraft carriers, replacing some of the U.S. Navys existing Nimitz-class carriers.
Sounds like another win
