Aviation Machinist's Mate 2nd Class Drennan Neil, from Bay City, Michigan, assigned to the "Bear Aces" of Airborne Command and Control Squadron (VAW) 124, performs preventative maintenance on an E2-D Hawkeye in the hangar bay, March 15, 2023. Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean executing its Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), an intense, multi-week exercise designed to fully integrate a carrier strike group as a cohesive, multi-mission fighting force and to test their ability to carry out sustained combat operations from the sea. As the first-in-class ship of Ford-class aircraft carriers, CVN 78 represents a generational leap in the U.S. Navy’s capacity to project power on a global scale.
