Navy: USS Ford Carrier 99-Percent Done, 2nd Carrier to be 50-Percent Done this year.

The future USS Ford is now going through Builders Sea Trials and is also expected to go through a deployment preparation phase known as “post shakedown availability.” Depending upon progress with testing, the Ford is slated to deliver by as soon as sometime next month.

Navy officials tell Scout Warrior that the second Ford-class ship, the future USS Kennedy, will be 50-percent built this year.

This comes alongside recent Navy reports that the USS Ford is now “99-percent” complete. Ship developers say the USS Ford is expected to deliver to the Navy later this year.

There is a significant increased use of electrical power on the carriers, such as linear motors elevators and Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System.

I expect future Ford Class to include defensive lasers and perhaps a rail gun.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Will the Kennedy have a defense against 'magic bullets'?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
