The U.S.S. George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) is the tenth and final Nimitz class “supercarrier”. Entered into service in 2009, it is the most updated evolution in terms of technology and weapon systems in its class. One of the world’s largest warships, thanks to its displacement of 100,000 tons, is powered by two Westinghouse nuclear reactors that permit, despite their impressive size, to reach 30 knots and have an operating range almost unlimited. More than 80 aircraft and helicopters are carried on board, enhancing the military effectiveness of the warship. The “Bush” is also used for the development and testing of advanced weapon systems. On the deck of CVN-77, the first tests with unmanned drones, as the Northrop Grumman X-47B developed and designed for carrier-based operations, have been recently done.
