NATO. The largest warship in the world, and the US Navy’s newest and most technologically advanced aircraft carrier, is in European waters for its first deployment. The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) recently concluded Exercise Silent Wolverine, a series of maritime drills off the coast of Portugal involving 11 ships from six other NATO Allies. During the exercise, the aircraft carrier launched and recovered strike fighters, surveillance aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft and helicopters while coordinating with ships from Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain. Working together in a multinational carrier strike group, Silent Wolverine gave NATO Allies a chance to see the USS Gerald R. Ford in action and familiarise themselves with its systems.
