Finally! American 100B Aircraft Carrier Is Ready For Action!
the most powerful aircraft carrier class in history. Each aircraft carrier of this class cost a hefty $13 billion. With 10 carriers planned for the class, that’s a total cost of $130 billion – multiple times more than the combined cost of every other aircraft carrier mentioned in this video. The lead ship of the Ford class, the USS Gerald Ford, like its siblings, has a record-setting displacement of 100,000 tons – an actual Supercarrier. Powered by two Bechtel A1B nuclear reactors – the most cutting-edge engines created for use on water, the Supercarrier can sail for 25 years at a go without refueling, has a peak speed of 30 knots, and power the livelihood of over 4,500 people onboard at a time.
