Boatswain's Mate Seaman Apprentice Jacob Parnell, right, from Mitchell, Georgia, and Boatswain's Mate Seaman Brandon Dcosta, from Baltimore, both assigned to the world’s largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford’s (CVN 78) deck department, participate in an inflatable jousting challenge during a steel beach picnic to celebrate Independence Day in the hangar bay, July 4, 2023. Gerald R. Ford is the U.S. Navy’s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, representing a generational leap in the U.S. Navy’s capacity to project power on a global scale. The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe area of operations, employed by U.S. Sixth Fleet to defend U.S., allied, and partner interests.
