170409-N-OG138-0021
170409-N-OG138-0021 ATLANTIC OCEAN (April 9, 2017) Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Edgar Trujillo, assigned to Pre-Commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford's (CVN 78) deck department, acts as the coxswain to a rigid hull inflatable boat while underway in the Atlantic Ocean. The future USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is underway on its own power for the first time. The first-of-class ship -- the first new U.S. aircraft carrier design in 40 years -- will spend several days conducting builder's sea trials, a comprehensive test of many of the ship's key systems and technologies.
