The Ford is the most advanced aircraft carrier the US has ever built. The total cost is more than 30% higher than initial estimates. More costs are expected. The Navy accepted the Ford without some of its newest technologies operating, and the ship won't be ready for battle until 2022. The $13 billion aircraft carrier is a first-in-class ship and features a suite of new technologies. According to his former defense secretary, Donald Trump complained about the look of the aircraft on many occasions. The Ford is expected to be ready for naval operations later this year after cost overruns and delays. The US Navy's new aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford, was often the target of Donald Trump's criticisms, according to his former defense secretary. The largest aircraft carrier in the world is the $13 billion Ford. It features a collection of new technologies, such as advanced weapons elevators, advanced arresting gear, and a electromagnetic aircraft launch system. The new catapults were too complex compared to the older steam catapults and the elevators would stop working if they got a drop of water on them, according to the former president. He thought the ship would never work, according to his new book. The look of the ship, different angles of which can be seen in the following US Navy photos were all fixated on by Trump. Trump visited Norfolk, Virginia at the end of his presidency to see off the USNS Comfort. As the former president admired the destroyers and other warships at the pier, he remarked "how beautiful", before launching into a rant about the Ford. The former Pentagon chief said that he had tried multiple times in the past to address the issues. The island is a narrow structure that extends upward from the flight deck, and Trump took issue with the position of the Ford's command center for flight operations. The island looks really bad and the president suggested moving the command center closer to the middle of the ship. When discussing the island, Trump would gesture with his hands parallel to each other farther apart, like a football referee measuring the distance in inches or feet to get a first down. The design of the Ford was years in the making. Navy officers tried to explain that the command center was placed there for operational purposes, specifically making it easier to conduct flight operations, but Trump insisted that it doesn't look right. When Trump said he had an eye for beauty, he rubbed his hands through his own hair and told his audience. Despite setbacks over the course of the ship's development, the Ford has gone through shock trials and should be ready for naval operations this year. There are three more Ford-class carriers in the works. The original article is on Business Insider.
