An investigative report by the American CNN network, featuring new footage and photos, disclosed detailed information regarding the recent fire aboard the newest U.S. aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford.The report revealed that the operational and structural damage to the world’s most expensive naval vessel far surpasses the official account presented by U.S. Navy leadership, who appeared to downplay the severity of the incident.According to a senior Pentagon official cited by the network, the carrier’s state-of-the-art automatic fire suppression system failed entirely for unknown reasons.This failure forced hundreds of sailors to combat the blaze manually for several hours, risking their lives and allowing the fire to spread further.The official noted that preliminary technical evaluations suggest the carrier will require extensive maintenance and structural repairs at a shipyard, potentially sidelining it for at least a year.This represents a significant setback for U.S. military deployment plans.The Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the newest and most advanced U.S. Navy carrier, serving as the flagship of its class. It was built at a cost of approximately $13.3 billion, measures up to 337 meters in length, and is powered by two A1B nuclear reactors that enable it to operate without refueling for 20 years.Weighing around 100,000 tons, the carrier supports a crew of over 4,500 personnel and can accommodate between 75 and 90 aircraft, including fifth-generation F-35C fighters. It relies entirely on an advanced electromagnetic aircraft launch system, replacing traditional steam catapults.Military experts warn that the Gerald Ford’s year-long absence will create a critical gap in U.S. naval deterrence, especially amid rising tensions in the Middle East, the Red Sea, and the Pacific.These regions depend heavily on the carrier’s presence to maintain U.S. military influence and safeguard strategic interests and allies.
>>536496528Its funny how Amerimutt bugmen always gloat about transparency and professionalism like filthy Jews, yet clumsily cover up and lie about 95-98% of their losses casualties and damages.
>>536496528Doesn’t actually say what the actual damage is
>>536496528100% brown sailor hands did this.
>>536496680yup, the faulty sprinkler system was almost certainly installed by DEI hires
>>536496528Source: OP's semen-crusted asshole. Get fucked, faggot.
>>536496629It's funny how memeflaggots are always dickless shit-eaters.
>>536498137kek go back to facebook where this might be considered intelligent discourse, faggot
>>536496528>According to a senior Pentagon official cited by the network, the carrier’s state-of-the-art automatic fire suppression system failed entirely for unknown reasons.It's the magic of the triangle
>>536496528didn't china supply iran with a bunch of hypersonic carrier killing missiles?why didn't we see any sunk carriers?all the bluff and bluster and the vast majority of the damage was self inflicted.i saw some clips of the toilets flooding, and this fire apparently, but it's a long way off the destruction china promised us.what a letdown.
All the carriers that go over there will be out of action for a long period once they get back, it takes a long time to get a massive ship back up to scratch, there would be nigger tummy lint all over them, ready to ignite.
>>536496528So this HAD to have been sabotage
/pol/ quoting CNN and believing everything they write was not something i ever imagined would happen here.but this is same board that screencaps random pajeets on twitter and reports it as fact. i guess it really is a dead board.
>>536498248Yeah explosives do tend to fuck with automatic systems.
>>536499567… but don’t leave visible damages — amazing explosives.
>>536499209>why didn't we see any sunk carriers?they kept all the big ships out of range
>>536496528>reddit spacing>AI imagethank you for the report comrade +10 rubles to your account
>>536499467The crew rioted because they didn't want to zog anymore. If they told the truth other Zogbots would join in and Bibi would not let Trump swallow his cum anymore.
>>536499209None of that shit was ever confirmed - or seen. Some of that (like the anti-ship missiles) was just in negotiations when the war started. Also, we're straight up too afraid to approach within range.
>>536501791>Design a ship that can circumnavigate the globe multiple times without refueling >provides a landing platform for aircraft with hundreds of miles of range>you should sail it right next to what you are attacking. You are one dumb nigger.
>>536496528Yes, yes. Very believable and not at all just another IRGC VPN thread.
Blah blah Russia. The “second-best army in the world” fails against a neighbor that's 20% Russian.On the other hand, the U.S. really went all out in the Iraq War and completely conquered a country on the other side of the world in six weeks. I witnessed both.No matter how many 4chan posts you make to compensate for that.Russians just don’t get how ridiculous they are compared to the US.If the U.S. were to get serious and deploy ground troops, Iran would fall within three months.and i dont even like the USA.
>>536496528Nice. Fuck the Navy
>>536501996The intensity of refueling ops tell me that we're operating from beyond preferable range - and I'm not only talking about the carrier, retard. Notice how we can't, in fact, open the strait. Why do you think that is.
>>536502593sorry mate but you shouldn't reply to namefaggots in any situation much less facetious retard namefaggots
>>536502931fuckin christ I didn't even notice the fag
