From left, Capt. Paul Lanzilotta, commanding officer, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) speaks with Capt. Hannah Kriewaldt, director, ship material, Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic, and Rear Adm. James Downey, program executive officer, Aircraft Carriers, during a ship visit in Newport News, Virginia, Dec. 22, 2021. Downey was aboard the ship to observe the turnover of Lower Stage Weapons Elevator 6 from Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Newport News Shipbuilding to Ford. The advanced weapons elevator is an innovative Ford-class-specific technology that allows for the streamlining of weapons assembly and movement, and provides greater efficiencies with less manpower and maintenance requirements. Ford is in port at Newport News Shipyard executing her Planned Incremental Availability (PIA), a six-month period of modernization, maintenance and repairs.
