$12.8 billion to Kill or $12.8 billion to heal? Question answered again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Ford-class carriers are designed to replace the Navys existing Nimitz-class warships, which have been in operation since the 1970s. The upgraded designs feature larger flight decks, three aircraft elevators and the new ships also replace steam-powered systems with more efficient on board electrical power. Some lawmakers and industry officials have criticized the USS Ford — particularly for its $12.8 billion price tag — but the Navy is staunchly defending the warship and its new technologies, according to the Daily Press.
