78 years after the Pearl Harbor attack (Dec’ 07, 1941) the aircraft carrier JFK has its inaugurated launch ceremony on December 7, 2019.

40 years after the last Nimitz class carrier, the Gerald Ford class aircraft carriers are now new members of the Navy’s arsenal.

Four 21’ diameter props push her at 30 knots. She’s 1100 feet long, flight deck 256’ wide, & height 250’ with a crew of approximate 5,000.

Electro-magnetic catapults replace the steam driven catapults. Less maintenance and faster turnaround aircraft launch times (220 per day versus 120 powered by steam).

Electrical regenerative braking system on the carrier slows down aircrafts landing.
