Project history: Intermediate design between Nimitz class and new CVN78. CVN77 has integrated information systems, open-system architecture for computers and combat systems, fiber-optic cabling and zonal electrical distribution, multifunctional embedded antennas and composite construction for the island. Concepts and systems are employed to reduce the lifetime cost for the ship by about 20% and to reduce the crew by 500. Differed from previous sister-ships, they have a prominent, 10.4m-long bow bulb to the hull, while the island superstructure is one deck lower than in earlier ships, and supports two masts. The ships have improved air-conditioning systems and berthing facilities. Instead of previous ships, they have 3 but not 4 arrester wires.
Ship protection (presumably): Armour protection consists of 3 protected decks (flight, hangar and lower decks) and vertical armour (side armour and longitudinal bulkheads). Also there is a box-shaped protection of magazines and vital zones. Underwater protection includes 5 longitudinal bulkheads (4th bulkhead is 76mm-thick). Bottom is also protected. Also vital spaces have 63mm Kevlar protection.
Modernizations: late 2000s, Ronald Reagan: - SPS-49A radar; + SPS-49A(v)1 radar
early 2010s, both: - 2 x 8 Sea Sparrow SAM, 3 x 6 - 20/76, SPS-73, SPS-64(v)9, 3x Mk 90 radars, SLQ-25 torpedo decoy; + 2 x 8 ESSM SAM (16 RIM-162), 4 x 1 - 12.7/90, SPS-73(v)12 radar, SLX-1 anti-torpedo system
Naval service: No significant events.
