Much-Delayed Carrier Won’t Go Far in Its First Deployment

Five years into service, USS Ford will exercise in the Atlantic ahead of a full deployment in 2023.

NAVY TECHNOLOGY
   
The first official deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford will be something of a short test run: a set of exercises with allies in the Atlantic, the 2nd Fleet commander said this week.

This “service-retained deployment” will start next week and last for an undisclosed amount of time, Vice Adm. Daniel Dwyer told reporters Monday in remarks that the Navy asked to embargo until Thursday. The 5-year-old aircraft carrier is to make its first “global deployment” in 2023.

Other first-in-class carriers such as the Nimitz and Enterprise (CVN 65) have done similar initial deployments, Dwyer said. The Ford will remain under 2nd Fleet control and will not chop to a combatant commander, he said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Sounds like they still don't have a lot of confidence in it.
