090202-N-N1809-1004 SAN DIEGO (Feb. 2, 2009) A close-up of a model of USS Gerald Ford (CVN 78) at the Antenna Model Range at Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific in San Diego, Feb. 2, 2009, shows its hull number among all its miniature details: satellite dishes, antennas, railings, and anything solid that could affect high-frequency radio communications. Testing antenna configurations on model ships before installing them on real ships 48 times the models’ size saves the Navy time and money by validating high-frequency radio communications coverage before any metal is cut in the shipyard.
