the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the lead ship of her class of US Navy aircraft carriers. She is named after the 38th US President, Gerald R Ford, whose WW2 naval service included combat duty aboard the aircraft carrier USS Monterey in the Pacific theater.
Construction began on 11 August 2005, when Northrop Grumman held a ceremonial steel cut for a 15-ton plate that forms part of a side shell unit of the carrier and christened November 2013. The USS Gerald R. Ford entered the fleet and replaced the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which ended her 51 years of active service in December 2012. Originally scheduled for delivery in 2015 Gerald R. Ford was delivered to the Navy on 31 May 2017 and formally commissioned by President Donald Trump on 22 July 2017. Her first deployment was October, 2022. The USS Gerald R. Ford is the world's largest aircraft carrier, and the largest warship ever constructed in terms of displacement. The motto of the USS Gerald R. Ford is “Integrity at the helm”.

William B. MacGregor, Jr. Watercolors the Junkyard and Nautical Chart Artist
William B. MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA in 1947, the son and the grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters who also were artists. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. Beginning in May, 2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA in an exhibit entitled: “Lookin’ East: Art and Imagination of the New England Hot Rod" .
