Currently on station at the north of the Red sea, longest continuous deployment since vietnam. 302 days and counting. In action off venezuela, then transiting the atlantic for Epic Fury. Major fire with 600 crew displaced. Short berthing in Crete for repairs/refit, crew got a liberty in Croatia, then back into action. Not a shill. I'm just interested in this story. And it seems like a hell of a story. I'm probably wrong on some details, which is why I'm asking you.
what's there to tell, we're being led by retards who don't care much about anything
>>65098292I just hope those poor fucks get some good extra pay they have spent all major holidays away from their loved ones, most of them have spend their birthdays and the birthdays of their loved ones out at seathe poor saps
>>65098302Baaaww ;_;
>>65098292but the /pol/troons told me that the based iranians hit it with hypersanic missiles
>>65098302>join the military>actually have to serveD:
>>65098302Doesn't look like they're coming home anytime soon. George Bush carrier group is on the way to the region and should be there by the end of the weekend. Which is another inflection point. I wouldn't usually even consider this, but I suspect they're keeping the ship away from home port in the US for a reason. It's not unreasonable to suspect with our current government. This is based on nothing lol. Anyway, I REALLY want to hear from someone on that crew. Also, the Navy secretary was just fired this afternoon.
>>65098356>join the military to try and make a difference in the world/obtain gibsI'm sorry you're mentally retarded. They should've caught that during the recruitment process and denied you.If you sign your life over to Uncle Sam for the duration of your contract, you really have to be a special kind of person to be surprised when Uncle Sam decides to actually use your life accordingly.
>>65098347>Also, the Navy secretary was just fired this afternoon.Good, Phelan was fucking clueless. Hegseth next, hopefully?
>>65098347> the Navy secretary was just fired this afternoonThat dude was the one that pitched the battleship idea to trump.
>>65098381To be fair, it's kind of pathetic that Russia has the Super Kirov and the US doesn't have anything as big and mighty as it.
>>65098381>That dude was the one that pitched the battleship idea to trump.Wrong. Trump kept calling Phelan in the middle of the night asking for battleships. Phelan stated that in multiple interviews.
The reason these ships have to stay on station so long is because maintenance on them takes forever because we have almost no shipyards left yet insist on maintaining a gargantuan fleet. They can't be relieved until a drydock is free, which takes forever. If we didn't have 11 fucking carriers it might not be a problem, but we want to pretend we still have the world's largest shipbuilding industry.
>ugh wow we're just so bad americabros>WE are just not that great anymore! i guess WE should just give up!
>>65098340this
>>65098434You know it's possible for a ship to both not be deployed to a warzone and also not be in drydock, right?
These is by far the faggiest concern troll so far
>>65098292Have there been any reports on issues with the catapults or arresting gear during this deployment?
>>65098425>>65098385
>>65098356>muh pedo president retardation Lmao take your meds

>>65098292Can you rotate a crew without hitting shore?
>>65098606Just rotate the whole ship. We have 11 of them.
>>65098600Anon... you know damn well there are plenty of Dorthy's friends on board.

>>650982923 flattops and all their support vessels on this long deployment has absolutely rekt the maintenance schedule. And I'd be will to bet any hands nearing end of service on those boats are getting the fuck right out asap. This stupid wag the dog shit will have decades-long repercussions.
>>650982929 month deployments were par for the course in the early 2000's. By that, I mean you did your 9 month westpac, rolled right into a 6 month avail, and then you were out for 9 months again. Rinse and repeat until your contract was up (and you didn't get stoplossed) or you rotated to shore duty. My final westpac started as a surprise two week deployment right after the holiday stand down to cover another ship that broke down, Iraq started, and we didn't get back until November. NGL, it kind of sucked, but it made it real easy to tell the reserves recruiter to go fuck himself while I was processing out.>and the best part?>I got off easy with a 1 year stoploss because I was a 2nd termer>all my first termer buddies got to find out the hard way that your initial contract is actually for eight years if they need you, not the four years that the recruiter talked about>>65098833It'll get fixed the same way that it got fixed the last time. Instead of the sailors getting it in the ass, the yardbirds will get it in the ass. And I'm a yardbird now. And I was a yardbird then, when we started catching up from GWOT in the early teens. >t. needs to start making better career decisions but steady work is steady work, even if it's 84 hour weeks
>>65098292600 burning mattresses, on the heels of intentional toilet clogging, isn't a "laundry fire", its a major PRISON RIOT.How do you get 600 burning mattresses when the housing "pods" are only 40 bunks each???Everyone was like "What the froggity fuck???" when Joe Biden appointed (Rear) Admiral Rachael "Dick" Levine, who was High School football team "Mate" of the Chi-Com traitor Gen Millie.POTUS Trump is like "hold mah Diet Coke! :)"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPGLNYAgL-8&list=RDxPGLNYAgL-8&start_radio=1Sec of Navy, on the eve of USN's "greatest victory", suddenly resigns (or gets fired less than a year and half after appointed) for no reason, with no known replacement on deck.Personally, this smells like he talked to some lawyers and they told him "yeah, you could very well go to prison if you stick with this Epstein Admin".
>>65098474If they want to larp as pre 1947 DoW then the DoN is an equal cabinet secretary and doesn't have to clear shit through Kegsbreath
>>65098455:)
>>65098292>liberty in croatiaMad fucking jealous. Croatian goth whores for everybody.
>>65098292Retard question, is there any way of replacing the crew while on deployment? I realize that months-long deployments are a natural part of the job, but you're gonna have some serious burnout by the time you hit 150 days at sea, nevermind 300.
>>65099219On a sub or lcs that's routine. Not possible for other vessels
>>65099219>is there any way of replacing the crew while on deployment?Send the bosun and a few of the largest lads ashore in dead of night with cudgels and manacles.
>>65099253>Send the bosun and a few of the largest lads ashore in dead of night with cudgels and manacles.In 1870 any swinging dick drinking on the waterfront could operate any station on a sailing vessel but if you shanghai the mate on a coastal fishing boat what the fuck are you going to do with him? Are you going to give him a crash course in machining or aircraft maintenance or nuclear propulsion while underway?Also most of the time crimpers used drugs and not violence.
>>65099311>Are you going to give him a crash course in machining or aircraft maintenance or nuclear propulsion while underway?Honestly sounds hilarious, we should try it at least once.
>>65098665>Epstein suicided during Trump 1st admin>trump campaigns on releasing Epstein files and hanging pedos>Doesn't release the files and doesn't hang pedos>Republicans looking into pardoning Maxwell

>>65098292That sounds awful. I would rather be in the goddamn Army over at-sea Navy. >t. Pampered former Airfag
>>65098292amortized power projection vehicles by an empire in decline. My hot take is that it would take US to lose 2-3 of them permanently for them to retreat back behind the oceans. Lost tech they can't replace and only maintained on account of their highly overvalued world pillar economy status. Which they are in a process of rapidly dismantling by destroying the alliance base it is founded upon>inb4 zigger pidor/pajeet/chinkshitI ain't even anti-US. at least until orange temu putin came along. It is just sad to watch how easy it is to squander a position built upon nearly a century of consistent work. And of all things on the fucking middle east goat fuckers? which burgers have been obsessed over since the 90s
>>65099319It got hit by anti-ship missiles, I swear by all.. I mean Christ!
>>65098302the crew is their new family
>>65099331But what about petrodollar? Pls tell
>>65099331I expect if we ever lose a carrier there's a double digit chance we bring out a nuke.
>>65099311>? Are you going to give him a crash course in machining or aircraft maintenance or nuclear propulsion while underway?The Soviets managed to operate nuclear subs with mongolian tribesmen simply by beating the meaning of "button X does Y" into them with sticks, even if the poor fuckers couldnt read russian. Straight up Orc shit. Im using the term "managed to operate" in its widest extent here, but still.
>>65099334The US economy goes from slow decay to violent anal prolapse if the petrodollar is replaced with a petroyuan too quickly, but in reality we are talking about a much more gradual replacement over the course of decades.Nothing really ever happens, except when that slow decay combined with demographic decay hits some unknown threshold, but that's still like 15 years ahead of us so don't worry about it.
>>65099342>China is always only ten years away from demographic collapse>America is always only 15 years away from petrodollar collapse>Iran is always only two weeks away from nuking New York and Tel Aviv
>>65099342>but that's still like 15 years ahead of us so don't worry about it.I'm thinking 2 more weeks

>>65099463I like to believe that Africans can bootstrap themselves to something like civilisation, if everyone would just stop fucking with them and giving them "aid".
>>65098600haha yeah that would drive anyone insane, I can't even imagine
>>65098600In the Navy?
>>65098292Also known as the USS McSharten, a third world ship in contrast to her predecessors which were planned and constructed when the US was a white nation.
>>65099331Wilsonianism has been a disaster for the U.S. The U.S. reshaping the world order around its interests is a sign of strength not weakness.
Trump is unironically reasserting the petrodollar though. Why are these shill narratives always based on totally made up assertions.
>>65098292>>65098302Serving this long in any other war would be a badge of honor, but I can't imagine that morale is high. There's not many things worse than missing all major holidays and your family risking your life for Israel in an operation named "Epic Fury" by a frat bro at the behest of a pedophile and his Israeli master. Serving in Vietnam would be far less pointless and demoralizing by comparison, and I imagine the music and Vietnamese hookers would be better at least.
>>65099993>The U.S. reshaping the world order around its interestsAs long as the cancer is growing within the US, those little games dont matter. Earth has been brownified.
Didn't the Ford just pass through the Suez again? I thought the Houthis were going to sink it.

>>65099454They don't use words, they copy the sounds other people make and hope it works.
>>65100330All those black lines say otherwise, pedolover.
>>65099319I suspect navsea systems may have to answer some questions if simple laundry fire will make 600 berthings uninhabitable. Its like air conditioning isn't conditioned for damage control. So they may have to do some damage control in the office.
>>65100330This is an actual released page. The official reason for black outs is to protect the names of victims. Everyone knows it's a lie, it's a humiliation ritual for the American public.
>>65100395Kek I saw some punk wannabe who looked like Patton Oswalt at the bar wearing a "dead pedos don't re-offend" shirt the other day. Your posts remind me of that, performative and ultimately impotent seethe. If you know they're pedos do something. I really couldn't give less of a shit about some dweeb who needs permission from the people he calls pedos to kill the pedos that live in his head. Until then there are 3.5 million files for you to read, this time with a little more effort than ctrl+f'ing the hit list of celebrities you've been obsessing over for 10 years.
>>65099331>orange temu putingroan
>>65100417Yeah but the same people who "know" its a lie already "know" all the names that are being hidden anyways, at least that's the proof they offer for it being hidden. At what point do you admit you wasted a decade on schizo foreign shilling and suck start a .44?

You die in the worst ways (drowning, freezing or burning to death), you get stuck in the worst places and you get little sunlight because there are no windows.
>>65098292Imagine the smell...
>>65099166take your meds, schizo
>>65099454Chinks really latched onto the fact that we'll be down to 10 active carriers for a few months later this year as a result of a congressional mandate that Kennedy must be capable of launching F-35s before entering service. There's no technical reason why it couldn't already be in service right now with one of our many wings of FA-18s on board, but Congress doesn't like it when chinkoids are allowed to be more implessive than we are. Never mind the fact that they have zero supercarriers and zero stealth aircraft.
>>65098688Aw man I'm writing to my senator to double down on itI guess we cancel each other out
>>65100230No, Clinton is ordered for 2034. They haven't even started building her yet. I'm pretty sure Trump will cancel it or move to change the name though.
>>65100483Are they actually doubling down on the short man thing? Don't they remember when AOC had to "apologize" to her manlet base? Kek the party of misfits and punks dunking on anybody who isn't Chad or Stacey, bold strategy.

>>65101096You know what wasn't cancelled? US Citizenship for people of non europeans / east asians ancestry. White people will still be the minority by approximately 2045. I acknowledge that Trump did something to improve the situation, but steps implemented so far are not remotely enough and you know that. Same goes for europe.
>>65101237>But why am I not getting a pony IMMEDIATELY!?Shut the fuck up, nobody is fooled by this "oh better vote to lose your guns and be replaced because the person deporting illegals isn't deporting them fast enough". Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Nigger. White people are the only demographic GROWING in the US.
>>65099342that would require the chinks to actually allow yuan to be traded outside of china, which would torpedo the basis for its value overnight, ergo it's not about to happen, they are busy trying to convince people to keep their yuan inside china while also trying to allow more of it to be traded overseas, but that's a problem with a multiple decades long solution, if they can actually navigate it remains to be seen, and will be one of the more interesting economic and financial changes that will play out over the next wee while
>>65100887>The toilets clogged because they were poorly designed with pipes so small that even a regular turd would have to be crushed down to fit.

Then guess what happens when the racing turds hits a bend in the pipes. .The Cope is strong with this one.How many T-shirts have you tried to flush down your toilet?Reports indicate that the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) has experienced significant, ongoing issues with its vacuum-based sewage system, which has been severely clogged by items improperly flushed by the crew, including T-shirts and pieces of rope. Key Details Regarding the "Rope" and Sewage Issues: Persistent Clogging: The system, modeled after those on commercial cruise ships to conserve water, has proved inadequate for the carrier's 4,600+ sailors, leading to frequent failures. Specific Items Found: Engineering teams have reported finding various items clogging the sewage lines, including a four-foot piece of rope and clothing like T-shirts, according to a 2026 report on the ship's maintenance challenges.
oh look another we're actually winning thread lol
>>65101819flushing clothing is 100% prison riot tier. t. guy who knows unfortunately.

>this nigger is still going
>>65098292>volunteers for navy>waah, why am I at sea for months to a year? I was honestly surprised that sailors don't have longer tours at sea.
>>65099219>how do you replace the crew on a boatYou debark the old crew and board new crew. Very cheap to do at a port where you can bus the crew to and from the nearby airport.Without docking the ship you can use smaller boats, helicopters, airplanes, larger boats and even same size boats.
>>65102528>Cruise Ship passengers and crew don't normally do prison riots flushing t-shirts or 4' THICC ropes down toilets.I suspect clogged toilets and septic systems are common on cruise ships especially if passengers flush nonflushable hygiene items or attempt to flush trash out of laziness.
>>65102528>avoids the accusation by going on a spastic tirade.
>>65102597lol"over 200 breakdowns recorded in a 4-day period alone. While not all ~650 toilets were broken at once, the failures, linked to a flawed vacuum system, were significant enough to cause long lines, reduced morale, and severe plumbing issues for the 4,600+ crew."Yeah, I'm sure a cruise ship isn't built to same specs as a CVN.
>>65100827at least back in ww2 they knew what they were fighting for.
>>65102630>accusationyour "accusation" is meaninglessfacts are facts :)"prison riot" remains only valid explanation

>>65102641>the explanation i like is true because i like it>'Yes."explain without hyperbole why this way of thinking is good for you. its been over a decade and you still act this way and dont seem to be maturing any more.
>>65100863No, they went back to their old jobs.
>>65098385>Russia has the Super Kirov and the US doesn't have anything as big and mighty as it.11 supercarriers > 1 BBG & 1 ramp carrier
>>65102632I'm pretty sure navy buys their toilets, sewage systems and other shit dealing with shit from commercial supplies. I wouldn't be surprised if exactly same fucking shit was found on lot of cruise ships to deal with cruise shits.
>>65098434It's more of a musical chairs problem. There are 2 yards that do all the overhaul work for CVNs so as soon as one is out another should be coming in. When a deployment is extended, firstly you get slack capacity because that ship is not in the yard when it's supposed to be, then whenever it does get there it means it's overlapping into the next hulls availability window which means that one has to stay at sea regardless. Ofc the longer you're at sea past design parameters the more shit breaks so the longer you need to be in overhaul so it's a cascading problem. Extending a DDGs cruise from 6 to 14 months fucking sucks for the crew (ask me how I know this) but in terms of availability it's much less of a crisis than extending a CVN. Claudle told Trump this point blank in the press and was ignored because orange man's great great great great great great uncle was an important Dutch admiral in the age of sail so clearly he knows best.
>>65102641>>65102647lol they were so excited to reply before what happened
