The most expensive warship ever built has been put through its paces for the very first time. The US Navy revealed Saturday the first of its new class of the USS Gerald R. Ford has headed out to sea off the coast of Virginia. The new aircraft carrier embarked on the first of its sea trials to test various state-of-the-art systems. The $12.9 billion carrier departed from Huntington Ingalls Industries-Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News after more than a year's delay and cost overruns. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4395518/USS-Gerald-R-Ford-tested-time.html 4 Likes 3 Shares

Construction on the Ford started in 2009. It was supposed to finish by September 2015, with costs at $10.5 billion. But there were issues with the carrier's advanced systems and technology, including aircraft landing equipment and power generation. The ship is currently undergoing builder's trials. Itwill return to port in Virginia before embarking again for 'acceptance trials,' which are conductedby Navy inspectors. The opening test comes almost an entire year after 'poor or unknown reliability issues' were identified in a memo last year. 2 Likes

About 5,000 shipbuilders have been involved in the construction of the Navy's most expensive warship. The USS Gerald R. Ford will weigh almost 100,000 tonnes or as much as 400 Statue of Libertys. The ship has a five-acre flight deck, and holds 4,660 personnel and 75 aircraft, and was designed completely using 3D computer modelling. It can reach speeds upwards of 30 knots (about 34 mph), and has more than 10,000,000 feet of electronic cable built in. The giant warship is 1,106-foot long and will be capable of launching 220 airstrikes per day from its two runways, while appearing almost invisible to radar detectors. The ship is able to launch so many airstrikes one almost every six minutes because the deck uses electromagnetic force to propel the jets forward. It is a similar method as used on roller coasters. The ship is currently undergoing builder's trials. It will return to port in Virginia before embarking again for 'acceptance trials,' which are conducted by Navy inspectors. 1 Like

Haniel18: Even missiles that are not nuclear or torpedoes can hit and sink her. But do you know the only problem here? Hitting her...... She will detect threats from hundreds of miles away, launching fighters jets, Apaches, destroyer boats, even missiles or torpedoes to counter the threat. Though is likely there's a technology that can blind or hack her radar. 8 Likes 1 Share |

This is absolute "Be prepared" boys brigade. Us always spend massively on war weaponry I don't know if they are preparing for world war 3. OK, quick one here, I think Explorers should be rewarded for all his educational threads.
