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.
