At Newport News, eight new drydocks were opened to build eight new ships for the US Navy. Their keel blocks were already placed at the bottom, and electronic signs at the end of each dock had the hull IDs CVN-82, CVN-83, CVN-84, CVN-85, CVN-86, CVN-87, BBGN-94 and BBGN-95. All at once, the signs were updated with the names of the ships and their classes:

*CVN-82: Barry M. Goldwater, Gerald' R. Ford-class CVN'''

*CVN-83: United States, Gerald R. Ford-class CVN

*CVN-84: David Farragut, Gerald R. Ford-class CVN

*CVN-85: Saratoga, Gerald R. Ford-class CVN

*CVN-86: Independence, Gerald R. Ford-class CVN

*CVN-87: Kitty Hawk, Gerald R. Ford-class CVN

*BBGN-94: Illinois, Arizona-class BBGN

*BBGN-95: Wisconsin, Arizona-class BBGN

Their expected time of delivery to the USN is no later than President's Day, and will be worked on all at once.
