Those F*cking Idiots Trump and Hegseth Need to Order a Refueling and Keep the USS Nimitz in Service.

Clogged toilets, charred laundry, sailors sleeping on the floor: Snafus sidelined $13B US aircraft carrier

It’s been a crappy week for the largest warship ever built.

A raging fire in its laundry facilities and persistently clogged toilets have taken the $13 billion USS Ford aircraft carrier out of the Iran fight — and it could remain out of service for a year.

The massive, 1,106-foot-long vessel left the Red Sea last week and has been docked in Crete for repairs since Monday, far from the air and sea attack on Iran it had joined two weeks earlier.

Ford recently suffered fire damage. I've been advocating refueling the nuclear reactors of Nimitz to keep her in service.

@beckyromero sorry i missed that part of your message, it was covered up. Those ships, in general, are so well compartmentalized that i question the report. It is a shame that i do not trust a word from the administration

While a suspected intentional act of sabotage may successfully be covered up for a short period of time (i.e. the fire onboard the USS Bonhomme Richard), an enemy missile hit to the ship wouldn't have a prayer of being covered up.

Bottom line: This isn't the cover-up story of a "meteor shower" destroying a carrier battle group in the Pacific to cover up an alien armada attack on Earth in the Stargate SG-1 episode, "The Lost City."

@beckyromero who knows? Naval ships practice dealing with fires often.
