The US Navy is conducting a comprehensive review of its high-tech Ford-class aircraft carriers. This initiative, led by Navy Secretary John Phelan, aims to scrutinize the design costs and technological aspects of these warships.
This assessment follows criticism from former President Donald Trump regarding the carriers' technology, particularly magnetic catapults. Despite the USS Gerald R. Ford's extended deployment, the future of Ford-class carriers remains uncertain due to potentially cancelling future versions.
