New U.S. Aircraft Carrier Set for Testing
A new air-craft carrier for the United States Navy is ready to begin more testing. It has advanced radar technology and accommodate carrier-launched drones. These new ships are the first upgrades in aircraft carriers for the United States since the 1960's when the USS Nimitz was built. It is still in a very early stage of testing, and testing will take a long time because of all the new technology it incorporates. There is one major problem with this new ship, the USS Ford. It costed 12.8 billion dollars to make, which has been one of its major criticisms.
