US Billions $ Aircraft Carrier Is Finally Ready For Action
First, let's talk about why Gerald Ford is considered a supercarrier, and what makes it so different from the previous generation of aircraft carriers. Where, after all, almost 14 billion U.S. taxpayers' dollars went. If you compare the appearance of Gerald Ford and the same Nimitz, you won't notice much difference. The Gerald Ford is 1,105 feet long compared to the Nimitz's 1,092. The waterline width, is almost the same, 134 feet. The displacement is the same as the ton - 98425 tons for both ships.
