Aviation Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class Shelby Bilodeau, from Arlington, Texas, assigned to the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford's (CVN 78) air department, directs an F/A-18 on the flight deck, March 29, 2023. Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean conducting routine operations and training to maintain readiness. As the first-in-class ship of Ford-class aircraft carriers, CVN 78 represents a generational leap in the Navy's capacity to project power on a global scale.
