The record-breaking trip of the USS Gerald Ford, the aircraft carrier at the center of Trump’s military ambitions
In mid-March, a fire tore through a compartment of the United States’ largest and most powerful aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford.
The ship was floating in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, launching aircraft as part of the weeks-old war with Iran, when the blaze broke out in the laundry department. It took the crew 30 hours to put out the fire, clean it up and prevent it from reigniting, and roughly 600 sailors lost access to their bunks due to the damage. They also couldn’t do laundry, though fortunately no sailors were seriously injured.
It was just the latest trial for the crew of the Ford, which is slated, by one count, to break a record this week for the longest deployment for an aircraft carrier since the Vietnam War. The ship has served as the tip of the spear of President Donald Trump’s interventionist foreign policy, from helping capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January to launching waves of aircraft in the Iran war.
