ATLANTIC OCEAN (May 7, 2023) An F/A-18F Super Hornet from the "Blacklions" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 213 launches from the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), May 7, 2023, during flight operations in the Atlantic Ocean. Gerald R. Ford is the flagship of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group. 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.
