>>>Gerald R. Ford-class fusion super-carrier - The Gerald R. Ford class is a real class of ship, being constructed to replace the original nuclear-powered Enterprise (CVN-65) and the aging Nimitz-class carriers. At present only one actually exists, though the second is under construction and several more are planned. If the program goes according to schedule, Enterprise (CVN-80) will be laid down in 2020 and launched five years later.<<<Funny you should mention that ship, as I know someone who works on it.....
