Let me explain the Iran shitshow in ways even MAGAts can understand

5. A few Navy questions

One of the two carriers involved is the USS Gerald R. Ford.

As I understand things, the Ford is home-ported at Norfolk VA. For the past months -- almost a year -- the Ford has been at sea. She was deployed to support Trump's war on Venezuela, was pulled out of the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean or wherever, is now in the Red Sea. She was supposed to be back in Norfolk months ago for major repairs.

The ship has a crew of 5,000 -- right?

The ship has a new vacuum toilet flushing system and 500-650 of the ship's toilets are not working -- right?

And now a fire in the laundry area has left half the crew doing their laundry in the showers.

So -- speaking as a retired sailor, could you tell the rest of us: WTF????

EDIT TO ADD FACTS:

I checked this website that shows the location and activity of every carrier -- old, current, planned.

The Ford has been at sea since June 2025 -- that's almost one year without returning to port. Lots of happy sailors, wives, girl friends, children.
