Carrier Visit Gerald R. Ford - The First in Class; "Integrity at the Helm"

Post by Redskin301 »

On August 7, 2023, I visited the latest american aircraft carrierUSS Gerald R. Ford, CVN-78. This aircraft carrier is named after the 38th president of the United States of America, who served in the US Navy during the Second World War Gerald Rudolph Ford. The USS Gerald R.Ford is the 78th aircraft carrier of the United States Navy and the nickname is ‘WARSHIP78’, which can be found on social media as ‘#WARSHIP78’ or ‘@WARSHIP_78’. As all US Navy carriers have their own callsign, the USS Ford uses the callsign ‘WOLVERINE’. The motto of the ship is “Integrity at the Helm”, which means “taking care of, and looking out for, our shipmates.” It was really a mighty experience to be onboard of this huge vessel!!!

Here the video I made during our visit



Here two phots from the deck which I made near the side catapult:
