An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, assigned to the “Dusty Dogs” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 7, prepares to land on the flight deck of Pre-Commissioning Unit John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) as the ship transits the Atlantic Ocean during Builder's Trials, Jan. 28, 2026. This was the first aircraft to land on the Kennedy. Builder’s Trials provide an opportunity to test ship systems and components at sea for the first time, and make required adjustments prior to additional underway testing.
