U.S. President Donald Trump tours the Combat Direction Center on the pre-commissioned USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier in Newport News, Virginia on March 2, 2017. The Navy's newest aircraft carrier will officially join the fleet Saturday, July 22, 2017. U.S. allies will rest easy, Trump said, but America’s enemies will “shake with fear” when they see the Ford cutting across the horizon. That I can tell you,” Trump told thousands of service members and guests, including former defence secretaries Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, and Govs. Docked at Naval Station Norfolk, the USS Ford eventually will house about 2,600 sailors, 600 fewer than the previous generation of aircraft carriers.
