NORFOLK, Va. (April 24, 2023) Capt. Richard Burgess delivers remarks after relieving Capt. Paul J. Lanzilotta as commanding officer of the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) during a change of command ceremony in the ship’s hangar bay, April 24, 2023. Ford is in port at Naval Station Norfolk for a continuous planned maintenance availability. As the first-in-class ship of Ford-class aircraft carriers, CVN 78 represents a generational leap in the U.S. Navy’s capacity to project power on a global scale.
