Admiral James and his X.O., The ex-S.E.A.L., billionaire and bank robbery hero Oliver Read are due to take the new super carrier on its first test sale ever. The Gerald R. Ford is the lead ship in the new Ford class fleet so far there are only four of the new ford class super carriers being built and until all 10 of the Ford class ships are built the 10 Nimitz class carriers will remain in commission. Unlike the Nimitz class ships the Ford class carriers have one reactor instead of two and they will be bigger too.

Three months later
The Admiral opened the door to the bridge and we all stud up and saluted as some one shouted officer on deck.
(At ease) The Admiral said.
And we all sat down.
(We’ve been received orders from H.Q. to head for the Florida keys to join a coast guard fleet to the Bahamas to help set up a rescue operation to evacuate the residents to a shelter that’s been set up in the Florida keys.) The Admiral announced over the intercom.
(Set course for panama.) I ordered the navigator
(But the captain said Florida.)Argued the officer
(He’s an Admiral and how do we get from pearl to the Bahamas, go all the way around South America.) I asked the officer
(No sir) the officer stuttered
(Then how do we get all the way to the Bahamas in time to join the relief column and save a single life)asked the officer next to him
(We go through the canal) shouted the officer next to him
