USS Ronald Reagan 

Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) is America's most technologically advanced super carrier. CVN 76 represents the apex of Nimitz Class design advancements. 3D computer modeling and modular construction techniques used on the Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) have launched the future of aircraft carriers. Design improvements include higher capacity air conditioning, better power and lighting distribution, and a fiber optic-based network for improved communication and machinery monitoring. Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) also features a redesigned weapons elevator system and improved facilities for female personnel

CVN 76 is the first aircraft carrier to incorporate the 722 ton bulbous bow design - which improves hydro-dynamics and buoyancy, and creates greater lift to the flight deck.
