So how does Jimmy Dore get the torpedo of info?

C'mon man, tthis is the second headline that is suspicious to me.
You do know it could be a fake Jimmy Dore don't you?

OK..  Johnny can be fake to.  I just searched, there are links indicating Gerald Ford had to go to port. Kudos, you win the breaking.
I found this in support of he OP:    twz /sea/navy-juggles-its-aircraft-carrier-plans-to-stay-afloat

'A perfect storm involving three U.S. Navy aircraft carriers highlights the strain on the fleet amid an ongoing war in the Middle East and tensions in Asia. One of the carriers was damaged by a fire, another just saw its service life extended for the second time, while a third had its delivery pushed back until 2027. Though a Navy official told The War Zone there is no connection between the fire and service life extension, taken in concert these events show how difficult it is to build, operate and maintain the huge and expensive nuclear warships, especially when their deployments or service lives are pushed past anticipated timelines.

On March 12, a fire broke out in the laundry area of the USS Gerald R. Ford while underway in the Middle East, injuring two sailors. Though officials initially said the damage was minor, the vessel is now heading to Souda Bay in Crete for repairs, according to USNI, taking it out of war against Iran. On Monday, The New York Times reported that the fire took more than 30 hours to extinguish and left more than 600 sailors “bunking down on floors and tables.”"

Sheesh.. It's imposible to do air operations from a dock.  Headwinds are mandatory?

It appears the greatest military on earth has been a scandal..A decade in the making.  I heard the Ford was having troubles before conflict.
