(June 26, 2018) Seaman Amber Jordan, from Dallas, Texas, center, makes a stopper for a mooring line aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77). Jordan is a professional apprenticeship career track (PACT) Sailor who joined the Navy with aspirations of becoming a hospital corpsman, but now is working toward becoming a boatswain's mate. She loves getting her hands dirty and is proud to take part in a job that has existed since the inception of the Navy. She joined the Navy because she has always felt a need to give back to the world. She plans to depart the Navy at the end of her enlistment and pursue a career as a doctor. Her ship is underway conducting routine training to maintain carrier readiness. (U.S. Navy photos by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Sean Hurt)

Here are several pages of pictures of daylight flight operations of the USS Gerald Fod CVN-78. They have worked their way up to 12 aircraft testing and working air ops. That number will steadliy climb.
One needs to remember that the Ford class is an entirely new class of carrier with new catapults, new arresting gerar and mechanisms, new propulsion, and a new flight deck arrangement. They will test all of the permutations for each aircraft in every possible configuration and in every weather and flight condition imaginable to make sure that all of the new equiment works, that all of the personnel are trained well enough to be able to practically operate it in their slee[p, and to ensure that the carrier can function
Day time operations:
