28 days from the start after the GW relieves them. It's gonna take the GW about 6-7 days to get from the Straits of Malacca to Hormuz. So 35 if you start with yesterday so right around September 18. I doubt that they go full out top speed.

No doubt. Being stuck on a ship for an all time record deployment isn’t nearly as tough as having to deal with a serious medical condition, like say, bone spurs.

Wait until the OP, Bunky and others making this a big deal in idiocy...Watch the video i just posted, and that the sailors get steak and lobster on their birthday.
There were some here like the idjets in this thread that complained about SOW Hegseth wasting money doing this..
Such political hypocritical hacks...

My stepson is on the Uss Eisenhower. They did an 11 month deployment not to long ago. Just came out of POM. Doing workups to go again ahead of schedule. Life on a ship is a routine. My 1st ship was DDG57 Uss Mitscher. Did 2 6 month deployments, workups, north Atlantic 3 month deployment in 3 & a half years. You just suck it up & do your iob. Food sux so use hot sauce.
Seems like the Navy should have more good chefs and a lot fewer dieticians.

I don't really need to watch it, I lived it.

I know. I was pointing out how the same complainers in this thread complained about Hegseth wasting money on birthday steak and lobster...
Are now pearl clutching with politically charged BS in this thread.

Watched that video. Learned a lot about culinary specialists.
You seem very impressed that sailors get steak and lobster on their birthday.
Otherwise, daily living conditions are a challenge.

Why wouldn't they be? It's a warship during a war.

The issue is the media needs to make something out of nothing. This is a normal thing and has been since the beginning of time.
Look up WWII and you will find that over a million men cracked under the pressure.

Midnight rations. AKA MidRats. Depending on operations he grabbed a quick snack on midwatch AKA midnight watch-- looks like pulled pork, soft taco.
Whatever Sailor sent that to any media via their mommy, should be in a captains mast for deception.
If the media published willy nilly stock mid-rat photos they should be fired immediately for incompetence or gross negligence stupidity.

If living on a warship is a challenge, you probably should have joined the Air Force.

Both are propaganda outlets
What?
One is run by the DOD and the other consistantly ranks as one of the most unbiased news source available.
We all know you love your propaganda though. From your approved propaganda sources. Funny thing is, I thought you like the DOD.

They haven’t had a port call in 200 plus days. Moral on these ships can’t be ignored. A rotation should have been planned and executed before the national news got wind.

No should have rotations planned better. You’re blaming the sailors? Should look at the war department and admirals.

Daily 5th column agitprop. Carry on.

Another factor with this that isn’t being talked about much is that it is EXTRAORDINARILY hot there right now. It’s like 120 degrees literally during the day and doesn’t get below 100 at night. I was reading that the WATER TEMP in the gulf is like high 90s to give you an idea how hot the air temp is. That alone would drive you crazy if you’re stuck on a floating tin can like these guys are.

The rations are nothing like the boomers that died for this country in WW2.

CLAIM: Over the past 48 hours, multiple media outlets have reported several false claims related to USS Abraham Lincoln's (CVN 72) deployment to the Middle East. One report alleged seven Sailors died in a brawl aboard the aircraft carrier and others have recently suggested a spike in suicidal ideations. These reports are FALSE.
? FACT: USS Abraham Lincoln has maintained among the highest crew reenlistment rates (84.4%) of all aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy. The Sailors and Marines of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group remain resilient and resolved after more than 260 days at sea, 10,000 aircraft flights, and 1.5 million pounds of ordnance expended. No service members aboard the aircraft carrier have died, and the one Sailor who fell overboard Aug. 3 was quickly and safely recovered. The rampant misreporting on Abraham Lincoln's historic deployment is a disservice to our men and women in uniform and their loved ones
