This US Navy handout photograph shows the future USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) arriving at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia on April 14, 2017 approaching its berth next to the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) and USS George Washington (CVN 73) after returning from Builder's Sea Trials and seven days underway. - During this initial at-sea period, Ford's crew, representatives from Huntington Ingalls Industries-Newport News Shipbuilding, the Navy's CVN 78 Program Office, the Navy's Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair and various technical subject matter experts demonstrated many of the ship's key systems. Primary risk reduction objectives were successfully met, and, as is typical with sea trials, the Navy and shipbuilder learned a great deal about the ship's performance during the extensive testing. Analysis continues, and any identified corrective actions will be addressed. CVN 78 remains on track to conduct Acceptance Trials and delivery to the Navy this spring.
