OK, you've now described "future aircraft carriers" from your 14 minutes ago;Exactly!
There is always one aircraft carrier hull in the building dock. If a finished hull floats out and is moved to the equipment pier, assembly of the next new aircraft carrier begins.
However, it is possible that more old aircraft carriers will be decommissioned during the time or that they will not get their mid-life overhaul.

honey there was a time when the US Navy had decided not to go pierside, so that a carrier battle group doesn't catch a virus; do you know what's a carrier battle group?
