Interesting article published this afternoon on TWZ regarding an upcoming test to use the USS Ford to power NS Norfolk. The article also covers how much potable water is generated by the ship on a daily basis.

The article also delves into some very legitimate concerns. More can be found here:

Supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford To Act As Floating Nuclear Power Plant For Facilities On Land

The Pentagon is exploring ways to keep the power on at critical bases after attacks or natural disasters, and there's a history of ships acting in this role.

Congress is putting a damper on development of the Trump class battleship:

Congress Moves To Block Trump Class Battleship Work Until Its Key Weapons Are Mature

Such a delay could end the battleship program before it really starts, and the House Armed Services Committee is also demanding answers on the new frigate.

FF(X) program also impacted.
