USS New York at the Northrop Grumman shipyard in Pascagoula?  The ship was built with 24 tons of steel from the World Trade Center.

Yeah, I see that after looking at the excavator down near where the bow would be.  She's a beast.  The search resumes...

Right place, that's what counts.

That's actually the Ronald Reagan, circa ten years ago.  The Gerry Ford hasn't been laid down yet.

I just searched Wiki for the largest class of carrier. Is the Ronald Reagan a Nimitz-class ship? I thought about guessing those too, but I figured I'd have to go through a lot more of them.

Aircraft carriers are simply badass.
