    A large U.S. Navy aircraft carrier is underway at sea, flying the American flag from its island superstructure. The flight deck appears clear of aircraft, and a second naval vessel is visible in the background on the horizon. The image was taken from an elevated angle, likely from another aircraft or vessel, under overcast lighting conditions.

    The Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and the Italian aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (CVH 550) transit the Atlantic Ocean March 20, 2021, marking the first time a Ford-class and Italian 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.
