Construction of the ninth Nimitz class ship took place at Northrop Grumman Newport News, Va., starting with the ship's keel laying February 12, 1998, and christening March 4, 2001. In September 2002, The newest Nimitz-class aircraft carrier moved a little closer to commissioning with the testing of the flight deck's catapult one. The tests ran included the launching of "dummy loads", to certify the ships ability to successfully launch aircraft. The Reagan was scheduled for its first sea trials in February 2003, when the shipyard was to turn the ship over to the Navy. Numerous delays began to impact on the construction of the CVN 76 in early 2003. Numerous weather delays prevented work from being completed in the flight deck and on the integrated communications system. Furthermore, a fire in late February caused by a faulty circuit breaker caused the Navy and the shipyard to postpone the delivery of the Reagan and her commissioning. Nearly 600 other circuit breakers were retested to insure safety, but it was discovered that nearly 20 percent of those tested were faulty. USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) Wallpaper 4.

In May 2003 the crew of PCU Ronald Reagan passed Phase II Crew Certification. The purpose of crew certification is to determine the ability of the crew to evaluate its own training and its competency to train to Type Commander objectives. June 20, The U.S. Navy accepted delivery of the newest aircraft carrier, PCU Ronald Reagan. July 12, 2003 USS Ronald Reagan was commissioned during an 11 a.m. ceremony at Norfolk Naval Station. Vice President Richard Cheney delivered the ceremony's principal address while Nancy Reagan, wife of the ship's namesake, served as the ship's sponsor. May 2, 2004 USS Ronald Reagan re-delivered to the Navy, marking the end of a five-month Post Shakedown Availability/Selected Restricted Availability (PSA/SRA) at Northrop Grumman, Newport News (NGNN). The re-delivery actually took place while the aircraft carrier was at sea off the Virginia coast, following the successful completion of 2 days of sea trials. Major work items completed during the PSA/SRA included the addition of a 1,300-square-foot gymnasium, expanded crew laundry facilities, mast antenna modifications to optimize performance, and upgrades to accommodate the Navy's newest tactical jet fighter; the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet. In early May the Reagan got underway for its second set of flight deck certifications. This was the ship's first underway since its maiden port visit to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in November 2003. Seven squadrons were on board to assist with the certification. The certifications began on May 5 and ended on May 8. USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) Wallpaper 4.
