the USS. Goerge W. bush (CVN) 77 is the tenth and last
Construction began in 2001 by the Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard, at a cost of $4,500,000,000, but this number has not been adjusted for inflation or other economic considerations.[citation needed] The aircraft carrier was christened on October 7, 2006, and delivery is set for 2008. She is scheduled to be commissioned in 2009.

The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) will NOT be a Nimitz class carrier. The last of the Nimitz class will be the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77). The Gerald R. Ford will begin the new "Ford class".

My ship, the USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76) commissioned July 12, 2003. $5 billion
My husbands ship the USS GEORGE H. W. BUSH (CVN 77) is currently under construction and should commission in 2009. A little more than $5 billion
The USS GERALD FORD (CVX 21) is in planning and will commission in about 2013. About $24 billion.
THE EUROPEAN IDIOT ABOVE ME HAS NO CLUE WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. IT IS THE GEORGE H. W. BUSH. THE 41ST PRESIDENT (NOT THE 43RD WHO WAS IN THE AIR NATIONAL GAURD AND DID SERVE HIS COUNTRY) OF THE UNITED STATES HE WAS THE YOUNGEST AVIATOR IN US NAVY HISTORY AND WAS SHOT DOWN IN WWII. IF YOU ARE A RETARD OF US NAVY HISTORY, DON'T ANSWER THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE!!!!

Was going to refer you to the globalsecurities site but got beaten to it. Does it not strike you as a little strange that all the new carriers are being named after politicians. For Pete's sake, what is wrong with them? Politician scum over military people in history. Why can they not be named after sailors, rather than chair based, power-seeking, money making, corrupt scum? Sorry about the rant. I don't like politicians, they create the crap scenarios that the military personnel have to clear up. What an insult to name one after Bush who is a draft dodger, and never NAVY.
