The Drive
"Navy's $13B first of its kind Ford class supercarrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), which now has Carrier Air Wing 8 embarked onboard, is slowly showing signs of improvement to its various systems after a litany of engineering setbacks, but it still has a long way to go before becoming available for actual operational deployments. As such, the Navy's 10 Nimitz class carriers will continue providing for America's national defense needs alone. Beyond their general configurations, the two classes have major differences, both outwardly visible and not."
