The $13 billion carrier with a plumbing problem is home. Now come the costly repairs

NPR
Aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford arrives at Naval Station Norfolk on May 16 in Norfolk, Va. The USS Gerald R. Ford returned home to Virginia after an 11-month deployment, the longest since the Vietnam War.

With 4,600 sailors finally home, USS Gerald R. Ford will finally receive some much needed repairs and an upgrade to its beleaguered sewage system.
