So, why was this ship allowed to go 250+ days without a port of call? Why didn’t they just make stops at the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain?
>>540867813they have been a little too busy bombing Iran the last six months or so to make a port call, kid
>>540867813I don't know, I'd be fucking pissed too. However, having been on a carrier, I can say that a lot of the shit people are bitching about is normal carrier life. Being on a ship during deployment fucking sucks. You're in a floating metal prison filled with people from all walks of life, surrounded by sea water. Everything breaks all of the time, and people get around to fixing it when they get to it. This is what being in the Navy is like. It's gay, hot, and retarded. I swear sometimes they close things off just to fuck with the crew. "Let's just secure this entire section of passageway for a month for literally no reason!"
>>540867813Even without bases I thought we had logistical and supply vessels. How does anyone face food or supply shortages on a fucking American aircraft carrier? I literally don't get it.

they could but they just don’t want to. you lost tranny
>>540868600I was on the shitty kitty back in the day. We had people jump off when we were doing figure 8s in Persian gulf during OIF.
>>540867813Anon the US 5th fleet base doesn't exist anymore
>>540868776Yes they can do replenishment at sea. Maybe the CS records keeper fucked up on the replenishment order? Or maybe the CLF ships got low on stock who knows
>>540868776>>540868828Back in WW2 you guys terrified Japan by the power of the ice cream ship.It is visible reminder of how far you have fallen.
don't people jump off the ship all the time for fun? isn't that like one of the only perks of being seamen?
>>540868917When they decommed that ship a lot of people came from there to my ship the Reagan. Last I saw the Kitty it was rotting in Bremerton.
>>540867813trump is punishing the sailors there because they're complainingwhat this will actually accomplish though is everyone on that ship, all their family members, and portions of the navy will be radicalized not only against trump and maga, but also the establishment foreign policy and israel.the longer this goes on, the more negative perspectives towards the u.s. and israel will become. it's already bad, and trump's incompetence absolutely guarantees it will get worse
>>540867813>US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain?because it doesnt exist anymore
>>540868967why not
>>540869064>only perks of being seamen?no, the other perk is going up your bunkies ass.

>>540869099trump forgot to pay the rent
>>540869071Oh shit you were part of the turnover? I wasn't there for decom but I still knew some people onboard who were. Yoko in the early 2000s was fucking crazy. Unfortunately the hawk was the reason liberty cards were created for fdnf
>>540867813goys signed up for it
>>540869199I got to the Reagan in 2008, my first command. I just remember a lot of people from the Kittyhawk and Enterprise came to the Reagan. That's how I learned you could patch a pipe with a Monster can and just paint over it. My one buddy ended up getting kicked out for drunk driving.
>>540867813Or flown in daily? Shipped, droned, printed. Fuck em, said top brass
>>540867813Because its a nuclear powered carrier. If we wanted more frequent port of calls, we would have built diesel powered carriers.
>>540869099Closed due to aids
>>540869199>>5408693112 gay men who are proud pedo protectors. Thank you for your service.
>>540867813dei
>>540868776No, we outsourced it to foreign contractors who can no longer operate with the US.
>>540868776>How does anyone face food or supply shortages on a fucking American aircraft carrier?Didn't Iran fuck up all the bases in the vicinity? Now the closest port is Diego Garcia so any resupply takes so much more time to arrive. The deplorable conditions on both Gerald Ford & Lincoln they've had to endure is also proof orange man & co didn't think this through, they thought it would take a couple of weeks to bring Iran to heel
>>540867813They never made it to Bahrain they passed the Suez canal and then got scared from the Houties and went back to the Med. At this point the crew were already muting setting dryers on fire and clogging the toilets so if they would go to port half the crew would desert.
>>540867813they will run away if you land that's why they will now head to diergo garcia, an island in middle of nowhere, for port break. they can land a bit but nowhere to runaway
>>540872143>they will run away if you land
>>540867813>Why didn’t they just make stops at the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain?We destroyed it along with rest of American bases in the region.
