Have you wonder which country have the world most powerful aircraft carrier? Offcourse it would be no other than the United States of America. This powerful aircraft carrier is something I want to discuss with you now so you become abreast of this Naval ship.

The Gerald R. Ford class as it is known is a class of nuclear powered aircraft carriers under the U.S navy. It replace the once powerful aircraft carrier still owned and built by the U.S. known as Nimitz class. This sea beast has a biggest visible difference from earlier supercarriers due to its apt in location and size.

The ship has a reduce whole- life cost due in part to reduce crew size and the ships are intended to sustain 160 sorties per day for 30- plus days, with a surge capability of 270 sorties per day. Don’t be confused, the Gerard R. Ford class is not a single ship but consist of several ship acting as one single carrier.

Do you know these carriers have been part of the U.S. power projection strategy since Nimitz was commissioned in 1975. The carrier when fully loaded can steam in excess of 30 knots cruise  without resupply for 90 days, and could launch aircraft to strike targets hundreds of miles away!

Do you also know in these almighty Carrier, movement of weapons from storage and assembly to the aircraft on the flight deck has also been streamlined and accelerated. Also ordnance will be lifted to the centralized reframing location via higher-capacity weapons elevators that use linear motors.

The Gerard R. Ford -class ships convert steam into power by piping it to four main turbine generators to generate electricity for major ship systems and the new electromagnetic catapults. The carrier use steam turbines for propulsion.
