When you think of the world's largest aircraft carriers like the USS Gerald R. Ford and the Nimitz Class, you don't immediately picture these 400-meter-long behemoths drifting on the water. Yet, they are truly capable of executing extreme maneuvers at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. How on Earth do aircraft carriers make such sharp turns?

The USS Gerald R. Ford spearheads naval innovation, eclipsing its predecessors with advanced technologies like the groundbreaking EMALS for seamless aircraft launch, and AAG for efficient recovery. Its compact automation and 'island' structure boost efficiency and visibility, vital for the swift operations defining today's naval battles. More than a carrier, the Ford is a testament to American maritime dominance, merging cutting-edge technology with strategic prowess to navigate global challenges and shape the future of naval warfare.

Now, you must be wondering – why would such a supreme and powerful aircraft carrier need to make high-speed turns? Is it really a thing?
Well, the answer is yes.
