Gerald R Ford (CVN 78) is finally underway after many delays.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (April 8, 2017) The future USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) underway on its own power for the first time. The first-of-class ship -- the first new U.S. aircraft carrier design in 40 years -- will spend several days conducting builder's sea trials, a comprehensive test of many of the ship's key systems and technologies.

The "Missing Man Table" displayed at the 2nd annual 50th anniversary of Vietnam Veterans return from war commemoration ceremony at the Ft. Roots VA Medical Center in North Little Rock, Ark., on March 28.

The white tablecloth draped over the table represents the purity of their response to our country’s call to arms.

The empty chair depicts an unknown face, representing no specific Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine, but all who are not here with us.

The table itself is round to show that our concern for them is never ending.

The Bible represents faith in a higher power and the pledge to our country, founded as one nation under God.

The black napkin stands for the emptiness these warriors have left in the hearts of their families and friends. A Purple

Heart medal can be pinned to the napkin.

The single red rose reminds us of their families and loved ones. The red ribbon represents the love of our country, which inspired them to answer the nation’s call.

The yellow candle and its yellow ribbon symbolize the everlasting hope for a joyous reunion with those yet accounted for.

The slices of lemon on the bread plate remind us of their bitter fate.

The salt upon the bread plate represent the tears of their families.

The wine glass, turned upside down, reminds us that our distinguished comrades cannot be with us to drink a toast or join in the festivities of the evening.

Very powerful.. great post mate

Gerald R Ford looks larger than a Nimitz class length wise but is actually nearly the same length. The island is set back further making it look longer.

Nimitz class is 1092ft(33m)in length
Gerald R Ford class is 1,106 ft (337 m) in length.

Magnificent Beast!
