The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) embarked on sea trials today as Newport News Shipbuilding wraps up the ship’s refueling and complex overhaul. Sea trials put the aircraft carrier through a series of tests designed to prove system performance and demonstrate all the carrier’s capabilities at sea. The RCOH process is performed only once during the ship’s 50-year lifetime and involves upgrades to nearly every space and system on the ship.
