Synopsis "Crs Report for Congress: Navy Ford (Cvn-78) Class Aircraft Carrier Program: Background and Issues for Congress: September 17, 2009 - Rs20643"
CVN-78 and CVN-79 are the first two ships in the Navy's new Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) class of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. CVN-78 was procured in FY2008 and is scheduled to enter service in 2015. The ship's procurement cost is estimated in the proposed FY2010 budget at $10,846 million in then-year dollars--$389 million (about 3.7%) more than the estimate in the FY2009 budget.
