A little more perspective

The Navy’s ship-specific command history lists USS Gerald R. Ford at 1,106 feet long, equivalent to 337.1088 meters. This comparison uses that CVN-78 listing rather than the shorter 1,092-foot figure used in some broader carrier-class descriptions. The endpoints are the forward and aft limits of the carrier.

The flight deck overhang and underwater hull describe different outlines. The horizontal reference includes the ship’s overall fore-and-aft envelope, with the island, radars and mast shown above it. The published 134-foot height on the same page lacks a clear baseline, so this record does not treat that figure as keel-to-mast height.
