00:09And right now, I'm at war.
00:13My name is the USS Gerald R. Ford, delivered to the United States Navy in 2017.
00:21I am equipped with two nuclear reactors.
00:24Enough electricity to power 100,000 homes.
00:28I can operate for about 25 years without needing to refuel my reactors.
00:33That's longer than most of today's marriages.
00:35I also launch jets with pure electromagnetism, with the ability to launch four planes per minute under peak conditions.

00:48On the move, since roughly 250 days, I recently crossed the Suez Canal to reach the Red Sea,
00:55one of the longest deployments in recent decades.
00:58As you may have understood, I am the ocean's priciest resident.
