USS Enterprise was procured in FY2018. The Navy awarded Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding a contract for two aircraft carriers, CVN-80 and CVN-81, the first of its kind since the 1980s. The company announced, 31 January 2019, that it received a contract modification valued at $15.2 billion for the detail design and construction of these two ships. USS Enterprise will replace USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69 upon entering the fleet. As of March 2024, USS Enterprise was expected to be delivered to the Navy in September 2029.
Construction of USS Reprisal was canceled on 12. August 1945 when 52.3 percent complete. Launched in 1945 without ceremony to clear the slipway, her hull was utilized in experimental work in the Chesapeake Bay from 1946 – 1948 (mostly to do with bomb damage in magazines). Although inspected during January 1949 with a view to completing her as an attack carrier, the plan was dropped and her hulk was sold on 2. August 1949 to Boston Metals Co., Baltimore, Md. She was scrapped starting in November 1949.
