ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 16, 2023) Damage Controlman Fireman Luisa Acosta, right, and Damage Controlman Fireman Jeffery Camacho adjust their firefighting gear to ensure a proper fit during a general quarters drill aboard the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60) while the ship is underway as part of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, March 15, 2023. The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is underway in the Atlantic Ocean executing a composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX), an intense, multi-week exercise designed to fully integrate a carrier strike group as a cohesive, multi-mission fighting force and to test their ability to carry out sustained combat operations from the sea. As the first-in-class ship of the Ford-class aircraft carriers, CVN 78 represents a generational leap in the U.S. Navy's capacity to project power on a global scale.
