History:

The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) was commissioned in 2017 as the first of its class, succeeding the Nimitz-class carriers. Incorporating advanced technologies such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), improved arresting gear, and reduced crew requirements, the ship was designed for greater operational efficiency and survivability. Serving as a mobile airbase, the Gerald R. Ford can deploy a wide range of aircraft for strike, reconnaissance, and defensive missions. It plays a pivotal role in US power projection and maritime security in modern global operations. This kit allows modellers to recreate the flagship of the US Navy’s future carrier force in miniature detail.
