My neighbor also works on the Ford. He's Navy and works in electronics and that's all he can say
It was awesome to see the super structure installed, I think back in March.
I'm looking forward to see and hope to help build the new Enterprise and JFK built here...

The Jerry Ford? Oh man if there was ever a ship destined to run aground...
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

That or be the one CV that is lucky like the USS Enterprise (CV-6), except this one would nicknamed the Lucky F with some extra meaning in there.

Some items are public knowledge and others may not be, discussing details would be generally not be good.
