The Gerald R. Ford-class carriers are currently in development as the replacement for the current Nimitz-class carriers; however, given their price tag and the current budget situation, there's a very good chance that Congress and DoD will opt to keep upgrading the Nimitz-class vessels rather than invest in a totally new ship design, at least for another few years.

Is the USS Enterprise a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier?
She is literally one-of-a-kind. In 1958, they planned to make six nuclear-powered carriers and call them the Enterprise class carriers, but they cost too much so they only made the one named USS Enterprise. Nimitz class carriers were built later. Although the Nimitz class carriers are loosely based on the USS Enterprise, the USS Enterprise is not in the Nimitz class and is quite different. So, no. The USS Enterprise is not a Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier.
