USS Enterprise (CVN-80)
The world’s largest naval fleet belongs to the United States. The USS Enterprise (CVN-80), the third aircraft carrier of America’s Gerald R.

On this world’s largest warship, dangerous weapons such as F/A-18E/F Super Hornet (multirole fighter), F-35C Lightning II (stealth fighter), electronic warfare aircraft, Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye radar, Seahawk helicopters, and drones can be deployed.
Not yet commissioned
About 4,500 personnel will be stationed on it. It has not yet been commissioned into the United States Navy. The USS Enterprise (CVN-80) will replace the long-serving USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69).
Huge construction cost
