That is a cool video. The Nimitz Class carriers are being followed by the next generation Ford Class carriers. As amazing as the Nimitz Class carriers are, the Ford Class carriers make many major advances. The first of the new carriers, the Gerald R. Ford, is undergoing shake down sea trials and working out the complex new systems.

The Ford Class video is about seven minutes. Watch for the last segment about lasers and rail guns. Woe to anyone targeted by those.

With the ship's nuclear generators cranking out so many mega watts to power everything, one might say these ships are a form of "electric vehicles". Maybe even "green", heh heh.
