US-MILITARY-BUDGET-SHIP
This January 26, 2013 US Navy handout photo shows the 555-metric ton island for the future nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford sits in place after being lifted into position on the ship's flight deck at Huntington Ingalls Industries-Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Virginia. The American navy will November 9, 2013 christen a new aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, a colossal ship plagued by equally huge cost overruns, at a time of growing budget pressures. The daughter of the former US president, Susan Ford Bales, will break the traditional champagne bottle at a ceremony in the port of Newport News, Virginia, near the sprawling Norfolk naval base. The problem project, however, will be plain to see -- construction of the vessel is only 70 percent complete and its delivery has been postponed to February 2016.
