Newport News Shipbuilding division lifted a 704-metric ton unit into Dry Dock 12 on Jan. 23, 2017, where the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) is taking shape.

The superlift is part of an improved build strategy implemented on the second ship of the Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) class, resulting in superlifts erected at a higher state of outfitting completion.
