Sailors aboard the Pre-Commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) man the rails as the ship pulls in to Norfolk, Virginia, after conducting builder’s sea trials April 14, 2017. The first-of-class ship - the first new aircraft carrier design in 40 years – spent several days conducting builder's sea trials, a comprehensive test of many of the ship's key systems and technologies.
