I don't think we need carriers we have now, let alone any new ones, but the Navy will not "pay $12.9 billion dollars for the UNFINISHED USS Gerald R Ford."

See my post here for details, but the launch of an unfinished ship is completely routine and the Navy will not take delivery until the ship is finished and has undergone sea trials.
