At the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, along the James River in Virginia, one of the biggest structures ever built by humankind is slowly being pieced together.
Huntington Ingalls Industries announced Thursday that they have lowered the 680-metric-ton bow of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford into place.
The aircraft carrier is the first of its kind and will be delivered to the U.S. Navy in 2015.
