Deployed 15 January to 14 August 2016 as an ongoing rotation of U.S. forces supporting maritime security operations in waters around the world, on her 4th Maritime Security Operations (MSO), supporting operations that are focused on reassuring regional partners of the United States' commitment to security, which promotes stability and global prosperity. John C. Stennis Strike Group, the centerpiece of the U.S. Navy's Great Green Fleet, joined the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and the Republic of Korea air force and navy to participate in Maritime Counter Special Operations Force exercise, which is part of the annual Foal Eagle exercise that wrapped up March 24 on the Korean peninsula and surrounding waters. Stennis and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 launched 36 sorties to support MCSOF missions, with USS William P. Lawrence (DDG-110) and USS Stockdale (DDG-106), part of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 21, executing maritime air control missions to defend the Korean coastline (MCSOF focuses on joint and combined defense-in-depth military execution using units over sea, air and land. RIMPAC 2016 in the Hawaii operating area. The goal is to increase the interoperability of U.S. and ROK forces in the Korean Theater of Operations.). Ships from Destroyer Squadron 15, based in Yokosuka, Japan, provided forces to augment JCSSG throughout the exercise, further enhancing U.S. and ROK combined tactics and sea control. As JCSSG executed the MCSOF mission, it also focused on energy conservation and demonstrating the capabilities of the GGF. The purpose of the GGF is to highlight a culture of energy efficiency and flexibility. JCSSG has different operational requirements depending on the mission at hand and completes those missions using as much smart energy use as possible. By using energy efficient systems while conducting operations, JCSSG increases its combat capability, flexibility, deployment range and duration. FE16 was a series of joint and combined field training exercises conducted by U.S. and ROK Combined Forces Command and United States Forces Korea component commands (ground, air, naval, and special operations). Approximately 10,600 U.S. service members and ROK forces from all services participated. John C. Stennis commemorated the 74th anniversary of the Battle of Midway with a wreath-laying ceremony, June 4 (The Battle of Midway was a key, naval battle in the Pacific theater between the forces of the United States and the Empire of Japan during World War II that is considered the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

On 6 October 2014, U.S. Fleet Forces Command announced that the future deployments for two Norfolk-based aircraft carriers have been changed in accordance with the U.S. Navy's Optimized Fleet Response Plan (O-FRP).[120]
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2015, the Optimized Fleet Response Plan aligns carrier strike groups to a 36-month training and deployment cycle. All required maintenance, training, evaluations, plus a single eight-month overseas deployment, are scheduled throughout this 36-month cycle in order to reduce costs while increasing overall fleet readiness. Additionally, this new plan streamlined the inspection and evaluation process while maintaining a surge capacity for emergency deployments. The ultimate objective is to reduce time at sea while increasing in-port time from 49% to 68%. While initially to be used by U.S. Navy carrier strike groups, the Optimized Fleet Response Plan will be adopted for all fleet operations.[121]
Accordingly, the carrier Harry S. Truman will be the first carrier to deploy under this new O-FRP cycle, replacing the previously-scheduled USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) in the deployment lineup. Additionally, the Carrier Strike Group Eight command staff will deploy with Truman while Eisenhower will serve as the new flagship for Carrier Strike Group Ten. This change does not affect the other ships or units that are otherwise assigned to either strike groups.[120] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Strike_Group_10

USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) Ready for the 21st Century
Operational and Building Data
Advance construction of the CVN-21 project began on August 11, 2005 with the beveling of a 15-ton metal plate at Northrop Grumman Newport News' shipyards in Virginia. This metal plate was used in the construction of CVN-78. Advance construction took an estimated two years before construction began on the actual ship herself. This gave technicians and engineers the time needed to test and design the ship, and all the new technologies placed into the vessel. The keel of the first unit (CVN-78) was laid on 14 November 2009 and delivery to the Navy is scheduled for 2015, to replace USS Enterprise (CVN-65), inactivated in 2012 after 51 years of service. CVN-78 was officially named Gerald R. Ford, after the nation's 38th President, on 16 January 2007. On 10 September 2008 Northrop Grumman Corporation received a $5.1-billion, 7-year cost plus incentive fee contract award for detail design and construction of CVN-78. Second unit (CVN-79) is scheduled to start construction in FY2012 and slated to be placed in commission in FY2019. CVN-79 would feature several improvements over CVN-78. Third and final (?) unit (CVN-80), would be procured "a few years after" CVN-79 (estimated delivery in FY2023). Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced, 1 December 2012, that she will be named Enterprise.
As of October 2019
USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the first new design for an aircraft carrier since USS Nimitz (CVN-68). The shipbuilders found value in every square inch of the ship, saving the Navy a projected $4 billion in ownership costs over the ship’s 50-year lifespan. The ship is equipped with two newly-designed reactors and has 250 percent more electrical capacity than previous carriers. The improvements will allow the ship to load weapons and launch aircraft faster than ever before.
Building a Giant
Building an aircraft carrier takes generations of experience, hundreds of thousands of man hours, years of planning and steady determination. USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the product of years of construction, and before that, years of planning and design. Five thousand shipbuilders in Newport News and thousands of suppliers across the United States contributed to this first-in-class ship. https://thefordclass.com
Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) - allhands.navy.mil
The aircraft carrier, with its embarked carrier air wing, is a preeminent asset for maintenance of maritime superiority across the oceans of the globe. History has time and again shown the invaluable benefits of having the capability to bring decisive air power to bear from the sea. The aircraft carrier, combined with the ships in an accompanying carrier strike group, is capable of carrying out missions across the full spectrum of military operations, ranging from large-scale combat operations to deterrence to humanitarian assistance. Aircraft carriers are flexible and adaptable, and, by design, thanks to their size and weight, they can generate a large number of aircraft sorties to deliver the payloads necessary for the achievement of various desired outcomes in furtherance of national military objectives. Built on the legacy of both today’s Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and the investments the U.S. Navy has made since World War II, the Ford-class carrier will be the most advanced ship on the sea, ensuring that the Navy remains a ready and resilient force for the future.
“Integrity at the Helm” is the Ford Foundation motto, inseparably bonding President Ford’s legacy with the essence of our Navy’s values.
Introducing Gerald R. Ford Class
For more than 40 years, Nimitz-class carriers have played the first-responder role in crises and conflicts. The delivery of CVN-77 in 2009 provided continued proof of the viability of the early-’60s design of the Nimitz-class carriers; these ships have served the nation well, and will continue to do so in the coming decades. Ford-class ships will begin to succeed those of the Nimitz class when Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is commissioned. While the aircraft carrier’s basic mission will remain unchanged, Ford-class ships will deliver greater lethality, survivability, and joint interoperability, along with unmatched versatility and compatibility with continuing joint-force transformation – all at a reduced operating and maintenance cost to taxpayers. Ford will be capable of carrying the Navy’s most advanced aircraft, such as the F-35C Lightning II; F/A-18E/F Super Hornet; E-2D Advanced Hawkeye; EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft; MH-60R/S helicopters and unmanned air vehicles. Adding to its versatility, Ford will also be able to recover and launch various Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft flown by the United States Marine Corps. Finally, the design margins built into the ship will allow for integration of future manned and unmanned aircraft with minimal ship alterations.
Gerald R. Ford Class Ship Facts
The Ford class incorporates advancements in technology that make the carrier more capable and more efficient, while also providing it with the ability to implement future advancements in technology with relative ease. With increased capability and reduced total-ownership costs – through, e.g., manpower reductions and innovations, such as greater electrical production from the nuclear power plant, the use of fiber-optic networks, improved corrosion control, and the use of new, lightweight materials – CVN-78 and future Ford-class carriers package increased warfighting capability and enhanced survivability in a platform that will keep pace with the threat through the course of the 21st century.
Specifically:
The Island on CVN-78 is smaller and further aft than that of previous carriers, increasing space for flight-deck operations and aircraft maintenance, thus enabling the ship and air wing to launch more aircraft sorties per day.
CVN-78 has replaced legacy steam‐powered systems with electric-drive components. With three times the electrical-generation capacity of any previous carrier, the ship is readily susceptible of future modernization with new and emerging technologies throughout its 50-year service life.
A Longer time between maintenance availabilities allows for increased steaming days over the life of the ship.
Its Improved Survivability includes improvements in hull design, firefighting systems, and weapons stowage.
Improved Weapons And Material Handling are provided by the Advanced Weapons Elevators, which provide faster movement of ordnance from magazines to aircraft. Ford-class aircraft carriers include new and innovative technologies to launch and recover (land) aircraft.
The Ford-class electromagnetic-powered aircraft launch system (EMALS) offers numerous advantages over the traditional steam-powered catapults of the Nimitz-class carriers.
EMALS provides for more accurate end-speed control, with a smoother acceleration at both high and low speeds. The system also possesses the necessary energy capacity to support an increased launch envelope and a capability of launching both current and future carrier air wing platforms – from the lightest unmanned aerial vehicles to heavy strike fighters.
The Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system provides Ford-class ships with the ability to recover both current and projected carrier-based, tailhook-equipped aircraft, and is the follow-on system to the Mark-7 system of the Nimitz class. AAG allows for the recovery of a broader range of aircraft and, through its greater control, reduces the fatigue-impact load on the recovered platforms. The AAG architecture includes built-in test and diagnostic technologies. Ford-class carriers include Quality of Life enhancements, such as improved berthing compartments, better gyms, and more ergonomic work spaces.
The Crew - The Life of This Ship
The unparalleled hard work, professionalism, and dedication of the Gerald R. Ford crew is what will breathe life into the ship. The pre-commissioning crew is charged with setting, and will aim to achieve, a standard of excellence that will become the benchmark for the ships of the Ford class to come. With more than 40 new or modified systems, the crew will continuously explore innovative training solutions, such as coordination with multiple program offices and naval education centers of excellence, as well as training with original equipment manufacturers.
Ship's Namesake
CVN-78 honors the 38th President of the United States and pays tribute to the lifetime of service he provided to our nation. Gerald Ford was, above all else, a man of integrity. He was guided by his fixed moral compass and based his decisions upon his understanding of what would best serve this nation, popular opinion notwithstanding. President Ford’s lifetime of service will be perpetually incarnated in the Ford by means of the heraldry in its official crest. The fleur de lis – pointing true North – symbolizes the Boy Scouts of America and Ford’s attainment of the rank of Eagle Scout. The moral compass represents his legacy of integrity and honesty. The map of the world stands for the ship’s global presence, illustrating in practice one of the guiding principles our Chief of Naval Operations: “operating forward.” The 38 stars are for the 38th President; 26 of them are filled in, to represent Ford’s naval service in World War II aboard CVL-26, USS Monterey. Finally, the color scheme of azure (blue) and maize (yellow) rimmed in blue and white represents the University of Michigan and Yale, his graduate school. https://allhands.navy.mil/Features/Ford
