- USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the lead ship of her class of United States Navy supercarriers. The ship is named after the 38th President of the United States Gerald Ford, whose World War II naval service included combat duty aboard the light aircraft carrier Monterey in the Pacific Theater.
The keel of Gerald R. Ford was laid down on 13 November 2009. Construction began on 11 August 2005, when Northrop Grumman held a ceremonial steel cut for a 15-ton plate that forms part of a side shell unit of the carrier. She was christened on 9 November 2013. Gerald R. Ford entered the fleet replacing the inactive USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which ended her 51 years of active service in December 2012. Originally scheduled for delivery in 2015, Gerald R. Ford was delivered to the Navy on 31 May 2017 and formally commissioned by President Donald J. Trump on 22 July 2017. She is expected to leave on her first deployment around 2020.

God bless the men and women who are on the USS Gerald R. Ford. Thank you for your service.
Oh its a work of art.
Damn good memories U.S Navy 8 year Veteran was Stationed in Greatlakes, Illinois, Seattle, WA & then Florida I was an E4 2007-15 Served on the USS Abraham Lincoln before I transferred to Florida 🇺🇸😎‼️
What an awesome feeling! Saw one of these at the port of New Orleans years ago and I can tell ya it will take your breath away. America is back!!!!!
I don't forget how lucky I am to be an American. I pay taxes, smart people build this, and heroes keep me safe. God bless America!
Hahaha $12.8 billion dollars of your tax money = a giant floating target for a Russian/Chinese hypersonic missile that costs 100 times less to produce
lol at the people saying it's useless. I was on a Nimitz class carrier for five years. It may be a lot of things but useless is NOT one of them.
Josef Al-Chacar yes it is used to take the freedom from other nations and make usa an empire
You are one ignorant phuk, aren't you Iraklis?
Tao đeo hiểu
Its not useless but i dont think its worth the money it costs
Josef indeed its not useless. its beyond useless 😉
Now she is an awesome piece of work! I am so proud to have served on the U.S.S Enterprise when we went through the overhaul in Bremerton, Wa. Back in 1979, went on a West-Pac tour! What a great time we had! Thease ships are an engineering marvel! How does the old saying go, your biggest threat against war is your deterrent!
BEAUTIFUL
Great video and the images too.
Hurray!!! No irritating robot voice.
Wow,, im glad im a friend of the USA and not an enemy. Great job greatings from The Netherlands!
Eduard Bults you are lucky that you don’t have to pay the tax too😂
go smoke some weed and eat cakes
No thanks, but people who want to do that, they are free to do. Everybody's own choice! Welcome in the free world!
Eduard Bults respect👏
Eduard Bults Thanks
Nice Carrier! Good luck and I am proud of all who serve!
This super carrier is beautiful
great💪💪💪💪 more power for USA.😊😊😊

Now that's a boat.
Sorry pall but its a ship not a boat a boat is something that the common people own a ship is at least 10 to 12times larger and only the navy owns
muy buen vídeo se aprecia mucho y trataré de hacer un maqueta de este portaviones con la vistas de este vídeo
What a beautiful ship! Built in Newport News, Virginia. And if I remember correctly, each time an island is fitted upon a carrier being built, a silver dollar is placed under it as it meets the deck. Good luck, I believe or Good Sailing. Something like that. Rock on, US NAvy from an Army Paratrooper veteran!
Can't wait until they make a U.S.S. Enterprise in this class of carrier.
Alex Black This ship replaced one called the enterprise.....
C Mac true, but the next one to be built is the new enterprise. CVN 80
U can feel the democracy and freedom .
scsaintaiwan this new air craft carrier it's nice but how many do we already have in service I know we got 20 of these carriers
And the nation's finest men and women can serve with pride
sarcasm
That thing is massive
That’s one beauty
I wonder like 50yrs from now, will there be a USS Donald Trump? 😂
Nate d gr8. Hope So!!
Yeah probably. probably space based too. Probably won't be a seafaring ship but a space based carrier.
No if your a president to get a navy ship named after you you have to be in the navy
Nate d gr8, nah...in 50 years time there'll be no USA let alone Donald Trump...Donald Duck is here to stay though.
Effendi
What are you saying. Are you saying you thank that the American continent will just sink beneath the sea.
That's something only the USA can build!
For now. Other countries will try to catch up
lorie emmanuel arago its the only thing USA cares about building and wasting $12b on it rather than taking care of its citizens
We have close to 100 Trillion in wealth, and we do take care of our people. But leave it to outsiders to talk about our countries problems.
ArthaxtaDaVince777 where Universal health care then ? Us outsiders know how shitty your country treats its people lol.
We actually have the best health care and government aid for elderly in the world. It is true our health care is not very good, but we could probably fix that in due time.
WOW simply amazing. i can imagine how complex it was to build it.
What a piece of art ,fucking love it
Just wanted to see how many angry Chinese and Russians are here complaining.
Why would THEY be angry?
Please explain.
Seisman 75 yeah u r seen lots of them man well they don’t really give a shittt just FYI .
Russia Forever well you're here. You must give a shit
mostly just merchant mariners trying to see how it looks like before it hits them....
Seisman 75 yeah I’m here I ain’t saying I’m not here and I’ve mentioned before that I have never hated the US but that doesn’t mean at all that I give a shitttt bottom line .
OMG, No one does aircraft carriers like the USA, this is ridiculous lol.
Billy McAuliffe *cough cough China building a carrier fleet* Not many nation's can afford a carrier, and with all of the Carriers together the US Navy has 65 acres of mobile territory
Billy McAuliffe Not war mongering you say? *looks at China expanding it's Navy while building Military defenses on disputed territory*
Billy McAuliffe I never said the US doesn't warmonger sometimes, but you can't say China isn't either
Billy McAuliffe Actually if we're going by that logic, China is ruled by a migrant because China has been Conquered by different ethnic groups who claimed to be the real China, also Trump didn't draft dodge smart one, he got a legitimate medical deferment, something you wouldn't know about
Billy McAuliffe Fun fact, Trump was rich, draft boards didn't pick rich people to serve, they picked the poor or minorites, another fun fact only 1 of Trump's deferments were medical, the rest were being in college
that is absolutely big BOSS !
God bless American... and Brazil too.
Anyone who says this carrier is a target is correct, its a huge target. If those people continue and also say that it would be easy to take this thing out need to punch themselves in the face. There is no country on this planet that has the technology or advanced systems capable of taking this thing out. And to the person who said that countries are going to start shooting nukes and nuke tipped torpedoes at it, if it comes to that and a country decides to start shooting off nukes then we're all screwed anyways. Oh and I hate to burst the bubble of someone who spoke about our debt but we're planning on a few more of these in the years to come. 12 total actually. #sorrynotsorry
xD didn't read the whole thing you were wrong from your third sentence so I assume the rest is BS. Have a nice day
Pierre your comment doesn't make sense. Can you clarify please?
Kevin Ward I would like to correct you on your third statement wich is : "There is no country on this planet that has the technology to take this thing out". Actually you don't seem to know how far technology has risen and how deadly some of the new (and not even new in some cases) submarines are... Exercises have shown that the "protection bubble is penetrable with a successful 3 hits.... One torpedo is already extremely devastating compared to what movies / video games tend to make us think so 3 is near lethal... Anyways this think may be huge but it is far away from being invincible : after all it's a just a big boat like another
This is why carriers don't travel alone, always in strike groups. So even if a sub could get close enough to fire off a torpedo they couldn't get a clean view of the target anyways. Also there are only a clutch of countries with the kind of torpedoes that you're referring to. Russia, Iran, maybe China, and us of course. I said as much in my previous post. These are called supercavitating torpedoes. And before you start giving me specs on how they work and all that just don't bother cuz I already know. And as far as the super stealthy subs that you mentioned there are 3 countries that have something like that. Russia, China, and the US. And we have the latest in that line. Plus were on good terms with those countries. It sounds like you're dreaming up a scenario in which the US has to go to war with 6 countries at once. Regardless of tech, there is no country in the world that could stop us 1 on 1. Most other countries that do have these things don't have but like 1 or 2 anyways. And they would be the first targeted. So we're good. And before you argue again just understand that I work in this field as a civilian. With a higher clearance than you so please don't try and argue global readiness and weapons platforms for other superpowers. Thanks.
Kevin Ward Lol I have no proof of your "clearance" so I'll count that as false (you can copy paste articles about whatever you like I don't give a fuck it doesn't prove your knowledge). Judging by your first statement you simply don't want to understand what I'm telling you. Even in close formation with the "protection bubble" surrounding your carrier, 3 torpedo hits have been marked with the sub remaining undetected the whole time. Some countries that aren't as big have way better than technology than your "area 51" can only dream of but you Americans only work in numbers... You have shit ton of tanks and planes Wich are very good but not the best. Your power comes from the fucking 12 carriers (how useless you said it yourself a scenario of 1 vs 6 will never happen) and 600B budget Wich could be used on other important stuff (not building walls btw) so pls dude stop talking to me like you know your shit or like you are allowed anything cause you simply dont listen thus you will never know the truth, only what you want to believe... Pls don't reply I never meant to be aggressive but you took it that way so go ahead and nuke the entire world that will end well for all of us
12.8 Billion $ ????? WTF ???¿
The military is just a massive welfare program and a scam to make the rich richer.
omgwhathappenedtomyspacebar? Lol did you really just say that😂😂😂 it’s to protect the country and its allies it may not be nice having wars but get over it, the human race isn’t going to change and the military ensures you will not be forced to change your ways
F35 has golden toilets installed.. This ain't so bad
That thing is crazy
Are there any official videos from inside the ship.? Like a tour or something like that.? @US Defense News
i am vietnam ,i love usa
i p Wtf?? İdiot
usa👍👏
Thank you to all these amazing men and women that are manning this icredible ship. Thank everyone that built it too. God Bless America
Powerful!
U.S. have money for that aircraft carrier and also for the weapons for war but dont have money to give on poor childrens that suffer in hunger.
But i am also a follower on U.S.A
Cause i live in philippines.
ryzally dayot It's much simpler to build a ship than to help the poor become non poor, the US already has programs to help poor children
ryzally dayot That is your job, you loser Russian.
People are hungry three times a day.
Their hunger will go nowhere even if trillions are spent on their food arrangements.
They will be hungry next day.
Only giving jobs and employment can reduce hunger index and that is responsibility of the respective country for it's people not USA.
So the poor don’t get selfish and expect more money to come.
20 trillion dollar in debt and we are still making aircraft carriers that's just sad.
xaaji Abdulqadir
At least we put people to work we just didn't just give it to them as and Welfare.
I'm sorry your sad I'm not.
xaaji Abdulqadir I am sure they will fix those minor problems
It is all new course it'll break down until they figure out the cause and fix it
xaaji Abdulqadir why don't you shout ur fucking mouth the old world in death u don't see how many people want to bring down the us
Wow that thing is awesome
The catapult issue will be resolved it is like any new technology has bumps in the road no surprise it will be fully operational.
more and more homeless but aircraft carriers for what spend the $ on infrastructure shelter healthcare etc.to hell with new weapons.
Allan Jelen homeless are homeless cause that's how they want to live...there's plenty of work for everyone in here in USA.......
Allan Jelen And you are not even a American.
Homeless in the US is a choice...
Sinjinbin64 Sinjinbin64
It is ok. i don't mind paying my taxes , as long as we get a good strong army to protect us all and live our lives in freedom.
Homelessness in America has significantly decreased since trump took the office pro trump for life
if you had spent at least half of that to homeless in USA we can be able to smile
andrew shourd “We have enough ships" which is why the Navy isn't able to perform all it's missions due to a lack of ships and the Marines are pulling retired aircraft out of the boneyard (Which were never supposed to fly again), Yeah the department of the Navy is 100% in tip top shape
22 trillion since 1964 has been spent on the war on poverty. Is that not enough? Divided, this is 0.00058 of 22 trillion, yet the poverty rate hasn't fluctuated much. Do your math
Brilliant!!
This is one huge carrier.
Oh wow that's awesome!
Awesome!
As I would like someday to board a ship like this.
peru4x4
Good luck
AWESOME
It's hard to imagine the making of this newly made ship... USA is very incredible... they are amazing... they have a new warcraft....
that is one nice ship.
great engineer dude..
Irrespective of where your from,,I think you have to agree that these are seriously impressive bits of kit!!!!!
That thing is a beast. It's like an entire floating city.
Great video, taking bets on when the run into another ship?
Yes we proud that we are frind of the Usa...So i see this Vedio & i am so Happy...from Kabir shahid..pakistan
Friends and family awaiting to united again with the love ones abroad the giant U.S. Superior Carrier. May God bless America.
Yeah..🙌..
Just one of the 'Big Sticks' at the US navies disposal and quite an impressive one at that.
I have a one quick question... what are the huge boxes mounted on each side of the stern???? Catapult related????? Tnx
Please give detaisl of this ship like size, weight, displacement, etc. Thanks.
I was shookt by the music at the beginning
Yes nice to see

I drive by this ship everyday
Paint job looking gud there that boat put some money in it pockets . that blaster/cleaner shipyard life

Pilot runs the show and coodinates the tugs.At least thats what we do drydocking or wet docking supertankers.vlccs .
Awesome
Es necesario ?
Very nice
E minha vontade era de fazer parte de força armadas e muito excelente os navios e aviões ....

Saw one of the first shots of it and thought well it's pretty bi,, wait, that was the width side! Damn, what a beast! Looks really impressive!
Wow 😮 that’s what am talking about 👍🏿
CVN78
Just a little something that I built in my spare time.
Built in Newport News . Huraahhhhh!!
Nice one
Excelent enginering ok
Are these bigger than the Nimitz class?
Love the Tech, people have awesome skills to built .....hate how it's used.
Wow I'm glad friend with USA
Love it thanks!
Rick Higson enimals
Lourd
Wow look sow good😮😮😮😮😮
i love us navy
State of the art ! :-)
I once wanted to become a tugboat skipper. Then later on, it occured to me that a tugboat brings with it a life lesson.
I would LOVE to serve on that ship!
our navy is the same as 2 of those tugs pushing the carrier out of the port, New Zealand. God bless America.
We believe in the power of American Navy!!!
Cool, U.S. Navy is the best war fleet in world.
Nice
That’s a big boat
Our French carrier looks like a toy compare to this monster 😬
Happy new year America....... and the rest of the world, of course!
That thing's size is like my whole neighborhood for the first 15 years of my life..
I liked the video
WOW
She is massive. Or he is massive as an Air Craft Carrier. Well done US ship building industry. I am dreaming to see this state of art and engeenering on my own eyes one day!:-)
I think thers something wrong with ur dates in ur description U said that the keel was laid down in 2009 and the actual date of construction according to u was 2005 now how the hell is that possible
Usefull
