SUPERCARRIER USS Gerald R. Ford And ITALIAN Aircraft Carrier ITS Cavour Steam SIDE BY SIDE!
Great and rare occasion, March 20, 2021: Supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and Italian aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (CVH 550) transit the Atlantic Ocean — marking the first time a Ford-class and Italian aircraft carrier have operated together underway.
(As part of the Italian Navy’s Ready for Operations (RFO) campaign for its flagship, Cavour is conducting sea trials in coordination with the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office’s Patuxent River Integrated Test Force to obtain official certification to safely operate the F-35B. Gerald R. Ford is conducting integrated carrier strike group operations during independent steaming event 17 as part of her post-delivery test and trials phase of operations.)
