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.

'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.

You get MORE STUPID as each day passes, PIGTURD!!

US aircraft carriers typically carry a tailored Air Wing of 60 to over 80 aircraft, with a standard loadout around 70–80 planes. This includes F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, F-35C Lightning IIs, EA-18G Growlers, E-2D Hawkeyes, and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters. These carriers act as floating air bases. 

Carrier Air Wing Composition (Typical)

• Fighter/Attack: ~40-50 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and F-35C Lightning IIs
• Electronic Warfare: 5 EA-18G Growlers
• Early Warning & Control: 4-5 E-2D Hawkeyes
• Helicopters: ~19 MH-60R/S Seahawks (anti-submarine, search & rescue)
• Logistics: 2 CMV-22 Osprey or C-2 Greyhound 

Aircraft Range/Combat Radius

• Combat Radius: Generally around 400–600 nautical miles for strike aircraft without refueling.
• Refueled Range: Aerial refueling from tanker aircraft (like the MQ-25 Stingray or other F/A-18s) can extend the operating radius significantly, often by 800+ miles.
• Flight Times: Most aircraft operate in cycles, with missions lasting 2–4 hours for strike fighters, and up to 8–10 hours for specialized surveillance aircraft like the E-2 Hawkeye

CARRERS don't need to be right on top of the warzone. THEY CAN FLY WELL OVER 700 Km and be OUT OF HARMS WAY OF ANYTHING THE ENEMY CAN TOSS ITS WAY. And 600 MILES is over 1000 km. 

You're a **** IDIOT!!

Pay attenttion..  Fires on the boats have sent them to the repair shop. They are in port.. I think they need to be underway into the wind for operations.

Hegseth decommissioned our minesweepers. The new ones aren't working.

Our Greatest Military in the World is having challenges.  You are extremely challenged mentally.

ANOTHER **** IDIOT opens that PIE HOLE and now, we STOMP YOUR *** INTO MINCEMEAT!!      

The service had four deployable minesweepers stationed in Bahrain up until 2025, but they were decommissioned and replaced with littoral combat ships equipped with minesweeping and mine-hunting capabilities. Each of the minesweepers decommissioned had served for over 30 years.

 These vessels, which utilize sonar and tethered remote operating vehicles to identify mines beneath the water’s surface, were used during the Gulf War to destroy over 1,000 mines off of Kuwait.

The replacements are phucking up. The Aircraft Carriers are docking for repairs.  They need the headwind for aircraft ops?

Every post you make is a foot in your mouth idiot.

You are sucking Trumps balls with your head up his ***.

Every military strategist  will tell you the predicament we are in with the Strait was coming.  Iran is launching cluster munitions against targets.

Short term game.. LONG TERM BLAME,,  Shame on you.

Evidently the laundry caught fire and sleeping quarters are toast.  We'll never be told if Iran did in fact hit the boat. I left  a for what  it's worth CP Shunned lnk above.

A month ago there was a story of lines 45 minutes long to take a crap. Imagery of poop flowing all over the deck.. The Ford had not docked in 273 days, Maybe the sailors will get some steak and lobster and a lap dance. Moral is dropping faster than Trump's diaper.

Iran HAS NO NAVY to place mines. We just DESTROYED their missile silos with 5,000 lb bunker busters LAST NIGHT, and their leadership is no more living.

So tell us that **** LIE you pulled out of your *** once again. It was toooooo **** FUNNY and will be the second time around.

And how much DICK SUCKING DO YOU DO DAILY?? 4-5-6 times daily when all you BUTT **** SHOW UP!!

Why the hell does our government feel they need to lie to us? A kitchen fire? Friendly fire? WTH? If they are going to lie, then they should at least make up lies that sound reasonable.

DNI.. DO NOT INTERROGATE..

If anyone can't figure out why Joe Kent quit yesterday after Tulsi's cold shot today they're brain dead.

Kent's letter said word for word "posed no imminent threat".   The bytch is in the Russian corner pocket and would not confirm. Assad is in Moscow.

Watch for a nuclear false flag attack on Americans. Blame it on Iran. Bebe and Donald have cut their nutz off and are in a corner with a dunce cap.

IN May 1942 at the Battle of the Coral Sea, the CV5, the USS Yorktown was hit buy multiple Japanese bombs and left for dead. Twice.

She managed to get back to Pearl Harbor and Admiral Nimitz informed the repair crews they had 3 days to repair her and have her ready for battle. 72 hours later, she rolled out of Pearl, heading to Midway Island to face the Japanese on June 5th in a surprise attack on all 4 of their fleet carriers. Not only did she contribute, but her Avenger dive bombers were responsible for the sinking of 3 of the 4 carriers.

Later, she was ALSO hit again and still, crews put out the fires and had her operational for another series of attacks on the Japanese carrier Hiryu. She was hit again by bombs and her Admiral was forced to leave her as his flag ship. Later the next day, crews boarded her to attempt repairs and a Japanese sub managed to hit her with a torpedo and she was left to sink with damage beyond repair.

PLEASE, SHUT THE **** UP and stop rooting for the ENEMY!! Americans WIN. Even when battle scarred and in tough situations. This fire on the USS Ford will NOT keep her out of the battle NOR unable to return in a few days. And our ability to find any mines has NOT be diminished in any manner as the plans to mothball our existing minesweepers was put in motion YEARS ago. As was the development of others methods to take care of mines.

Now, take that GOOD OLD FASHION *** KICKING AND YOUR DOSE OF SHUT THE **** UP and go the **** away!! YOU LOST!!

Your skepticism and observations are veery helpful. If mine aren't.. apologies for the distraction.
