USS Gerald R. Ford Returns To Sea Following Long Maintenance Period. The USS Gerald R. Ford returned to Naval Station Norfolk Wednesday after sea trials following a maintenance availability in Newport News.
The Ford is the lead ship in a new class of aircraft carriers for the Navy. The carrier was commissioned in Norfolk on July 22, 2017.
Last Friday, the Ford left Newport News Shipbuilding for acceptance trials following the post-shakedown availability and maintenance period which extended 15-months.
