It's the U.S.S. Ronald Regan, now on it's way to the Indian Ocean. Wonder what it's going to do? Iran.

Currently, the largest aircraft carrier is the USS Ronald Reagan,(CVN-76) one of the nine "Nimitz-class" carriers currently in use by the US Navy.
However, the newest carrier under construction, just named the USS Gerald R.Ford, will be first of three new carriers, built on the model of the Nimitz-class, but of improved technology.
The Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers (or Ford-class) will be the next generation supercarrier for the United States Navy. Before its redesignation as the Ford-class, this new class of carriers was known as the CVNX carrier program and then as the CVN-21 carrier program.

The USS Enterprise is larger in many areas such as length and the number of nuclear reactors. The Big E is longer but the USS Ronald Reagan is heavier. When you say larger it is kind of a toss up between the two. Given it's a time of war the stats are hard to find on both ships.

If by "largest" you mean the biggest it's the USS Enterprise CVN-65. The "Big E" is 1,123 feet long and that makes her the longest navel vessel in the world.
The Nimitz Class carriers are 1,092 feet long.
The Nimitz Class carriers do weigh about 10,000 tons more.

I will say the USS Enterprise is the longest and the Nimitz Class is the Heaviest of the force.

Depends upon the method of measurement:
USS Enterprise (CVN-65) At 1,123 feet (342.3 m), she remains the longest naval vessel in the world.
By displacement, the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) at 104,000 tons full load is the "biggest".
And just for Trivia... USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) is the oldest commissioned ship on active duty in the US Navy. (one of my old boats

I think its the Ronald Reagan class. THere is more than one now.
I think George bush has one name after him.
I can't wait to see the Clinton and the W. USS CLinton will probably dock at Subic bay and all the sailors will come back being treated with a social disease and SOme idiot wil probably sink the USS George W Bush riding on a inflatable boat with explosives.
