SAN DIEGO (Feb. 2, 2009) From left, Ben Wong, modeler at Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, and Jun Peralta, modeler retired from NIWC Pacific, pose next to a model of USS Gerald Ford (CVN 78) at the Antenna Model Range at NIWC Pacific in San Diego, Feb. 2, 2009. With Bob O’Neill, another retired modeler, Wong and Peralta built the Gerald Ford model, just one of the many models they’ve built for use in validating antenna configurations on real Navy ships 48 times the models’ size.
