200602-N-FH905-1052 ATLANTIC OCEAN (June 2, 2020) Culinary Specialist Seaman Recruit Dylan Ludwick, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) supply department, takes hash browns off the pan in Ford's forward mess decks. Gerald R. Ford is the first aircraft carrier equipped with conglomerate galleys, their unique design and state-of-the-art equipment make serving a crew of more than 4,000 personnel more efficient than Nimitz-class carriers. Gerald R. Ford is undergoing an 18-month phase of operations known as Post-Delivery Test and Trials, and serving as the only carrier qualification asset regularly available on the East Coast this year.
