What a blast!
I did sea trial onboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and USS George Washington (CVN-73). Nothing beats that first night at sea and the high power runs the shipyard has to make to demonstrate what the hull can do.
people would be amazed at how fast one of these ships can move when it wants to...

SONOBUOY PING!
Click on pic for past Navair pings.
Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

Quaere:
When does the US commission a warship? Is it before or after its sea trials?
When is it entitled to be referred to as "USS" and/or using its pendant number?
From the article, I infer that the practice is different than that for HM ships or HMC ships.
