The US Navy is experiencing significant delays in delivering its new nuclear-powered supercarriers, with the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) already over two years late and still needing upgrades. The USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) delivery was pushed from 2025 to 2027, and the USS Enterprise (CVN-80) is now delayed until at least 2031. These delays are largely due to the fact that all carriers are built at a single shipyard, Newport News Shipbuilding, causing a cascading effect on production schedules. As a result, older carriers like the USS Nimitz have had their decommissioning postponed, affecting fleet readiness and replacement plans for the coming decades.
