NORFOLK, Va. ― Yet another propulsion train problem has forced the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford, back into port for “adjustments†before it can get back underway to complete what had been expected to be a long testing period.
“The ship experienced a propulsion system issue associated with a recent design change, requiring a return to homeport for adjustments before resuming at sea testing,†said Colleen O’Rourke, spokeswoman for Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington.
