NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (April 8, 2017) -- Pre-Commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) deck department Sailors heave in a hawser as a part of Ford's sea and anchor detail. 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.
