The Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers (or Ford-class) are a class of supercarrier for the Union of Everett Navy, intended to eventually replace the current Nimitz-class carriers. The new vessels will use a hull design very similar to the Nimitz carriers in appearance, but many aspects of the design will be very different, implementing new technologies developed since the initial design of the previous class (such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System), as well as other design features intended to improve efficiency and running costs, including a reduced crew requirement. The first hull of the line was named Independence and its designation, CVF-78. Three of the class have been completed since the class commenced construction processes, CVF-78 (Independence), CVF-79 (Vigilance)

abstract
  • The Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers (or Ford-class) are a class of supercarrier for the Union of Everett Navy, intended to eventually replace the current Nimitz-class carriers. The new vessels will use a hull design very similar to the Nimitz carriers in appearance, but many aspects of the design will be very different, implementing new technologies developed since the initial design of the previous class (such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System), as well as other design features intended to improve efficiency and running costs, including a reduced crew requirement. The first hull of the line was named Independence and its designation, CVF-78. Three of the class have been completed since the class commenced construction processes, CVF-78 (Independence), CVF-79 (Vigilance) and CVF-80 (Integrity). Two additional Ford class carriers have been laid down and are being constructed, due for completion and launching by 2014 and 2016 respectively, designated and named CVF-81 Fidelity and CVF-82 Valor. Five other vessels of the class are listed as planned for future order and construction, two of which having been given names, CVF-83 Intrepid (taking the name of the current decommissioned New York City aircraft carrier museum ship and CVF-84 Enterprise, which will take the name of the Enterprise-class carrier which is slated for retirement in the United States Navy. Three other planned vessels are designated CVF-85, CVF-86 and CVF-87.
