The US Navy (USN) is disputing a Pentagon test report finding of potential design issues with aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford (CVN 78).

美国海军（USN）正在对五角大楼的一份测试报告提出异议，该报告发现美国航空母舰杰拉尔德·R·福特（USS Gerald R Ford，CVN 78）存在潜在的设计问题。

 

The Ford Full Ship Shock Trial (FSST) results “identified several design shortfalls”, the Pentagon Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) reported on 27 January.

五角大楼操作测试和评估 (DOT&E) 主任在 1 月 27 日报告说，“福特”全船冲击试验 (FSST) 的结果“发现了几个设计缺陷”。

 

The shortfalls were “not previously discovered by modelling and simulation (M&S) or component-level testing,” the DOT&E said in its annual report of select US defence programmes.

DOT&E在其美国部分国防项目年度报告中表示，这些缺陷“以前没有通过建模与仿真（M&S）或组件级测试发现”。

 

“If addressed, [the shortfalls] could improve the survivability of the CVN 78 against underwater threat engagements,” the report added.

报告补充说：“[这些缺陷]如果得到解决， 可以提高CVN 78对抗水下威胁交战的生存能力。”

 

Acknowledging that preliminary ‘quicklook' FSST results are still under navy review, Captain Clayton Doss, navy spokesman for the assistant secretary of the navy Research, Development and Acquisition office, told Janes, “We can state that, to date, there have been no design shortfalls identified.”

美国海军研究、开发和采购办公室助理部长兼美国海军发言人克莱顿·多斯上尉承认，初步的“快速查看”FSST 结果仍在美国海军审查中，他告诉简氏，“我们可以说，迄今为止，还没有确定了设计缺陷。”

 

Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), whose Newport News Shipbuilding yard constructs USN aircraft carriers, including Ford, deferred to the USN for comment.

亨廷顿·英格尔工业公司（HII）的纽波特纽斯造船厂（Newport News Shipbuilding，NNS）建造了包括福特在内的美国海军航空母舰，该公司递延美国海军的评论。
