The USS Gerald Ford is an incredible feat of engineering, and it's great to see it in action. The aircraft carrier's capabilities are unmatched, and its presence in the East Mediterranean Sea is a testament to its importance in maintaining regional stability. ✅
Hahahaha. I want you to replay the testimony by Trump about the 17- directional missiles welcome for one of the carriers.

326 days at sea, multiple global conflicts, and still making it back home in one piece. Whether people support the missions or not, the endurance and sacrifice of those sailors can’t be ignored. History books are definitely adding a chapter for the USS Gerald R. Ford. USS Gerald R. Ford

The reality of what those 5,000 sailors just went through on the Ford is heartbreaking. They were kept out there for 326 days—the longest deployment since Vietnam. They were sent to the Caribbean to capture Maduro, then immediately rushed into a war with Iran, all while the ship's infrastructure was literally buckling under the stress. Between the 30-hour laundry fire that displaced 600 sailors and the daily plumbing failures where exhausted crew members were working 19-hour shifts just to fix vacuum sewage valves, it wasn't a glorious military triumph. It was a grinding, miserable marathon of human endurance. And what did they accomplish besides enduring it?

The sign on the ship clearly says the  USS Mahan. Which is one of the destroyers in the Ford strike group. My son was on the Mahan. We loved being there to celebrate his return. More ships than just the Ford came back today.
