Italy has big plans for its navy and this is one of them

Italy will have a very good flat deck fleet in the coming years a real power projection in the Mediterranean

Add to that Turkey and Egypt with their own flat deck fleets pretty much covers Eastern Mediterranean with Spain having one also but they are in a bad economic shape

Together they should do many excercises and training to fine tune those capability's

Summary
CVN-78, CVN-79, and CVN-80 are the first three ships in the Navy’s new Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) class of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs). The Navy’s proposed FY2016 budget requests procurement or advance procurement (AP) funding for all three ships—a rare occurrence of the Navy requesting procurement or AP funding for three aircraft carriers in a single year.
CVN-78 was procured in FY2008. The Navy’s proposed FY2016 budget estimates the ship’s procurement cost at $12,887.0 million (i.e., about $12.9 billion) in then-year dollars. The ship received advance procurement funding in FY2001-FY2007 and was fully funded in FY2008-FY2011 using congressionally authorized four-year incremental funding. To help cover cost growth on the ship, the ship received an additional $588.1 million in FY2014 and $663.0 million in FY2015 in so-called cost-to-complete procurement funding. As a final planned increment of cost-to-complete procurement funding, the Navy is requesting $123.8 million for the ship in FY2016. The ship is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in March 2016.
CVN-79 was procured in FY2013. The Navy’s proposed FY2016 budget estimates the ship’s procurement cost at $11,347.6 million (i.e., about $11.3 billion) in then-year dollars. The ship received advance procurement funding in FY2007-FY2012, and the Navy plans to fully fund the ship in FY2013-FY2018 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The Navy’s proposed FY2016 budget requests $1,634.7 million in procurement funding for the ship. The ship is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in June 2022.
CVN-80 is scheduled to be procured in FY2018. The Navy’s proposed FY2016 budget estimates the ship’s procurement cost at $13,472.0 million (i.e., about $13.5 billion) in then-year dollars. The Navy plans to request AP funding for the ship in FY2016 and FY2017, and then fully fund the ship in FY2018-FY2023 using congressionally authorized six-year incremental funding. The Navy’s proposed FY2016 budget requests $874.7 million in AP funding for the ship.
Oversight issues for Congress for the CVN-78 program include the following:
 the potential impact on the CVN-78 program of an extended or full-year continuing resolution (CR) for FY2016;
 cost growth in the CVN-78 program, Navy efforts to stem that growth, and Navy efforts to manage costs so as to stay within the program’s cost caps;
 CVN-78 program issues that were raised in a January 2015 report from the Department of Defense’s (DOD’s) Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E);
 the potential for a combined material purchase on CVN-80 and CVN-81;
 whether the Navy should shift at some point from procuring large-deck, nuclear-powered carriers like the CVN-78 class to procuring smaller aircraft carriers; and
 whether to conduct the shock trial for the CVN-78 class on the lead ship or the second ship in the program.
