NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (April 8, 2017) -- Boatswain's Mate Seaman Lucas McLnerney, a native of Willowgrove, Pennsylvania, assigned to Pre-Commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford's (CVN 78) deck department, ties a safety line to a mooring line on the fantail of the ship prior to getting underway. The future USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is underway on its own power for the first time. The first-of-class ship--the first new U.S. aircraft carrier design in 40 years--will spend several days conducting builder's sea trials, a comprehensive test of many of the ship's key systems and technologies.
