US To Power Base With Nuclear Aircraft Carrier As Navy Mulls New Floating Reactor Program
Later this summer, the nuclear-powered USS Gerald R. Ford will export electricity from its two A1B reactors directly to Naval Station Norfolk, powering the largest naval base in the world from a $13 billion supercarrier sitting at the pier.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao provided the news during a May 14 House Armed Services Committee hearing on the FY2027 budget. “This summer, Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia is going to be powered from an aircraft carrier,” he said plainly. “We're going to export the energy from the aircraft carrier to the base.”
A Navy spokesperson later confirmed the initial test will happen later this year as part of a broader push for “firm, baseload power” and mission assurance at installations.
