Aviation Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class McClendon Waters, from Tallahassee, Florida, attached to the “Ragin’ Bulls” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 37, tests the fire bottle of an F/A-18E Super Hornet, in the hangar bay of the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), March 26, 2023. Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean executing its Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), an intense, multi-week exercise designed to fully integrate a carrier strike group as a cohesive, multi-mission fighting force and to test their ability to carry out sustained combat operations from the sea. As the first-in-class ship of Ford-class aircraft carriers, CVN 78 represents a generational leap in the U.S. Navy’s capacity to project power on a global scale.
