The U.S. Navy’s Subsequent Superior Plane Provider is 70% Full
The usJohn F. Kennedy, the second of the US Navy’s Gerald R. Ford-class superior nuclear-powered plane carriers, has reached 70% completion, in accordance with the shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls.
Just like the first-in-class Gerald R. Ford, the Kennedy is being constructed utilizing a modular approach, by which smaller elements of the ship are welded to type bigger chunks, referred to as superlifts, that then come collectively.
The newest building milestone got here earlier this month when crews at Huntington Ingalls’ Newport News Shipbuilding shipyard dropped an 888-ton superlift – a 171-foot-long, 92-foot-wide part composed of berthing areas, electrical-equipment rooms, and workshops – into place between the provider’s bow and midship.
