USS Gerald R. Ford Arrive in Norway, NATO Prepare For War in Russian Border❗

The U.S. Navy’s newest supercarrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), arrived in Oslo, Norway today for a scheduled port visit. While American carriers do operate off of Norway, this marks the first time a U.S. aircraft carrier has visited Norway in 65 years, following USS Intrepid’s (CVA-11) visit to Oslo in July 1958. The visit is also a significant moment for the Ford, which is currently on its first full-length cruise after years of technical problems and other setbacks since it was officially delivered to the Navy four years ago. The visit comes amid growing military co-operation in recent years given growing military pressure from Russia in the Arctic Circle. video by Odd Bakken and Frode Hokholt
