The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), the first of four of the U.S. Navy's most recent Ford-class aircraft carriers, made the news when she departed for her first deployment on Tuesday from Norfolk, Virginia.
This is significant as the U.S. Navy hasn't commissioned a new generation of aircraft carriers in almost 40 years.
According to a U.S. Navy official, the USS Gerald Ford and the carrier strike group will conduct operations alongside allies and partners in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, which are the 2nd and 6th fleet's respective areas of responsibility.
Carrier Strike Group 12 Commander Rear Adm. Gregory Huffman said in a statement,
"This deployment is an opportunity to push the ball further down the field and demonstrate the advantage that Ford and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 bring to the future of naval aviation, to the region, and to our allies and partners,"
