The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier is in the Caribbean. Here's its backstory
Joe Hernandez
It was deployed to support Operation Southern Spear. The ship is the first of a new class of aircraft carriers being built for the U.S. military.
Repairs will be made to retaining walls, bridges, stairways, and boardwalks. The project will also address erosion that has occurred throughout the park.
