Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class James Stanley (left), from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Aircrew Survival Equipmentman 2nd Class Shakelly McRae, from Fayetteville, North Carolina, services an F/A-18 seat pan in the hangar bay of the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), March 16, 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.
