$13 Billion US Aircraft Carrier Failure – What Went Wrong?

The most expensive and technologically advanced warship in US Navy history, a $13 billion aircraft carrier, has encountered unexpected failures during critical testing, sparking shockwaves across the defense world. In this explosive exposé, we reveal what went wrong, why it matters, and how the setback could impact global naval power. Equipped with cutting-edge systems like EMALS (Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System), AAG (Advanced Arresting Gear), stealth enhancements, and nuclear propulsion, this supercarrier was designed to lead the next era of maritime dominance. But early trials exposed troubling reliability issues. Launch failures, arresting gear malfunctions, radar integration problems, and software delays have all raised red flags.We unpack each failure in detail, exploring how ambitious technology, engineering complexity, and rushed deadlines may have contributed to the carrier’s growing pains. You’ll see how the Navy is responding, what fixes are being deployed, and what the delays mean for deployment timelines and global strategy.Despite its setbacks, the supercarrier still holds immense potential — but for now, it serves as a sobering reminder that even the most advanced military technology is not immune to real-world challenges.

Its a story about the USS Ford from some years ago before a lot of the problems were sorted.
