Inside the Naval Shipyard: From Raw Armor Plates to the Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier

Step inside Inside Factory, where we explore the colossal factory processes behind the world’s most ambitious naval megaprojects. In this episode — Building a Supercarrier: From Nuclear Reactor Parts to the USS Enterprise (CVN-80) — you’ll witness the high-level manufacturing process and massive industrial engineering required to build the next-generation American supercarrier.
Inside the world-class naval shipyard, we show how things are made on an extraordinary scale: precision steel cutting, modular block fabrication, hull assembly, structural welding, propulsion system integration, interior compartment construction, electrical and mechanical routing, deck installation, mega-crane lifts, advanced coatings, and dry-dock operations. All content is presented safely and professionally, without revealing any sensitive or classified information.

This documentary highlights the immense industrial production effort behind CVN-80, focusing on the engineering, heavy machinery, robotics, and thousands of skilled shipbuilders working together to bring a supercarrier from raw materials to a fully assembled vessel.
You’ll see the full set of factory processes that power one of the largest manufacturing processes on Earth — from building critical structural components to assembling the ship’s massive modules, all shown strictly from a safe, industrial perspective.
Explore more megaprojects, large-scale shipbuilding lines, and behind-the-scenes factory operations only on Inside Factory, where we safely show you exactly how things are made inside the world’s most advanced industrial environments.
