Ford’s (CVN 78) air department, on Ford’s electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) in the ship’s aircraft launch and recovery equipment maintenance control office during a ship tour, April 23, 2021. DGA executive leadership visited Ford to view the EMALS and advanced arresting gear (AAG) in operation, to enable France to refine the design of the Future French Carrier.

Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean conducting its final independent steaming event of post-delivery test and trials.
