For the first time in history, the United States is building two Ford-class supercarriers at once. USS Enterprise (CVN-80) and USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) are taking shape inside the same dry dock at Newport News Shipbuilding. But behind this engineering achievement lies a story few people hear: a workforce crisis, cascading delays, and the sobering reality that it now takes America 15 years to build a single aircraft carrier. In this video, we go inside the only shipyard on Earth capable of designing, building, and refueling nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. We break down modular block construction, the revolutionary EMALS catapult and Advanced Arresting Gear, the historic moment two carriers floated in one dry dock, and the workforce and supply-chain challenges now threatening the future of American naval power. đź“Ś Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 02:07 The Human Foundation 05:32 Fabrication
