NORFOLK, Va. - Sailors assigned to the Pre-Commissioning Unit John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) work alongside HII and Naval Air Systems Command counterparts during the first “dead-load” testing of the electromagnetic aircraft launch system. In this phase of testing, large, wheeled, car-like structures of graduated weights up to 80,000 pounds to simulate the weight of actual aircraft are launched off the carrier’s bow into the James River.DOWNLOAD PHOTO(1.78 MB)                This photograph is considered public domain and has been cleared for release.
