Inside the USS Gerald R. Factory | Building America's $13.3 Billion Aircraft Carrier (Full Process)

Описание: The USS Gerald R. Ford is the most
expensive warship ever built — $13.3
billion — and this is exactly how
America builds it.

In this exclusive full-scale factory
documentary, we take you deep inside
Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia
— the only shipyard in America capable
of building nuclear aircraft carriers.

Watch the complete step-by-step process:
→ How Newport News cuts and forms
HSLA-115 steel into the Ford-class
hull — largest welding project
in the world
→ A1B nuclear reactor installation —
3x more power than previous
Nimitz-class reactors
→ EMALS installation —
electromagnetic aircraft launch
system, a world first in
carrier history
→ 500-ton Island command tower
lifted and placed in one piece
→ 30-ton bronze propellers —
each one precision fitted
by hand
→ Dry dock flooding — watching
100,000 tons float for
the first time
→ Full sea trials and US Navy
acceptance process

The most detailed aircraft carrier
manufacturing documentary ever made.
