CVN-79


Wikipedia:

"CVN-79 is the hull designation for a proposed United States Navy Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier. Construction of this ship (if authorized) would not begin before 2010. In theory, CVN-79 would start to replace the Navy's Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. CVN-79 is programmed to begin construction in 2012 and to be placed in commission in 2018.

On 7 December 2007, the 66th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Congressman Harry Mitchell proposed naming this ship USS Arizona. Another popular possible name floating around has been to name her as the ninth USS Enterprise."
