Overview
Named after a famed Aquilan general in 2004 V.C. Voshkod Invasion of Aquila, the Gerald R. Ford-class Aircraft Carrier can carry and produce large amounts of aircraft at a time at reduced cost. Hardly defenceless if caught up close, the Gerald R. Ford can call down kinetic strikes from Sirius satellites.

History
"..."

-... The current Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in Aquilan naval service have been part of Aquilan power projection strategy since Nimitz was commissioned in 1975 V.C.. Displacing about 100,000 tons when fully loaded, a Nimitz-class carrier can steam in excess of 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph), cruise without resupply for 90 days, and launch aircraft to strike targets hundreds of miles away. The endurance of the Nimitz class is exemplified by FAN Gregory McGarren, which spent 159 days underway during the Voshkod invasion of Aquila without visiting a port or being refueled.

The Nimitz design has accommodated many new technologies over the decades, but it has limited ability to support the most recent technical advances. As a 2005 post-war report said, "The biggest problems facing the Nimitz class are the limited electrical power generation capability and the upgrade-driven increase in ship weight and erosion of the center-of-gravity margin needed to maintain ship stability.
