    Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling) 2nd Class William Black, from Pittsburgh, assigned to the air department of the world's largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), signals to an F/A-18E Super Hornet attached to the "Tomcatters" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 31 on the flight deck in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Oct. 13, 2023. VFA-31 is deployed aboard the Gerald R. Ford as part of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8. USS Gerald R. Ford is the 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 currently operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, at direction of the Secretary of Defense. The U.S. maintains forward-deployed, ready, and postured forces to deter aggression and support security and stability around the world.
