The U.S. Navy is taking a hard look at its Ford class aircraft carriers, the priciest and most advanced in the fleet. Navy Secretary John Feline announced the full review of their design and ballooning costs, wrapping up next month. He's not ruling out scrapping plans for future ones, stressing the need to check if the system's deliver value. This comes after years of flack from former President Trump, who slammed features like the magnetic catapults as unreliable. Meanwhile, the USS Gerald R Ford just wrapped a record 300-day deployment since June of this year, joining big ops like capturing. Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro and Strikes-On Iran.

Navy brass hailed the Ford's as battle-tested, launching planes faster than old Nimitz models with more firepower across

Feline's playing it safe, verifying every claim before committing billions, so expect clearer past Ford once their review lands.
