USS Gerald R. Ford returns to Norfolk after record-setting 11-month deployment spanning Red Sea, Mediterranean, North Sea and Ca
The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) has returned to Naval Station Norfolk, Va., concluding a 326-day deployment—the longest since the Vietnam War. The carrier operated across the North Sea, Mediterranean, Caribbean and Red Sea, supporting U.S. war-with-Iran operations and a mission that enabled the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
