Rear Adm. James Downey, center, program executive officer, Aircraft Carriers, speaks with Sailors and Newport News shipbuilders, following the turnover of Lower Stage Advanced Weapons Elevator (AWE) 6 from Huntington Ingalls Industries Newport News Shipbuilding, Dec. 22, 2021. The AWE 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.
