ATLANTIC OCEAN (April 10, 2017) The island of the aircraft carrier Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is illuminated at night while transiting the Atlantic Ocean during builder's sea trials (BST). The future USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is underway on its own power for the first time. The first-of-class ship -- the first new U.S. aircraft carrier design in 40 years -- will spend several days conducting BST, a comprehensive test of many of the ship's key systems and technologies.
