    Default The biggest aircraft carrier in the world....

    USS Gerald Ford.....

    Wikipedia says it can hold 75+ planes, that means if it was a country it would have at least the 51st largest air force.........

    Pretty sure it has to do with automation & miniturization of electronics.

    The U.S.S. Nimitz is 1,092 feet overall length.

    The U.S.S. Gerald Ford is 1,106 overall length.

    Difference is 14 feet.

    Big enough to be easy to see and easy to target. No stealth. Needs three ships around it to defend it from just about anything. Another three ships to keep it supplied. Yes, it does the job that a WWII ship was needed for, but how good is it in modern days?

    I would like to see a running gag in a slasher movie with a ship called Trump.
    "I heard a thump".
    "Did you say Trump?"
    "No, thump--I think I heard a thump!"
    Thump went the head as it hit the deck.
    "Did you hear that? I'm sure I heard a trump--I mean thump. Uh...hello... hello" Thump, thump, thump.
