The return of the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier to its base in the US

After 11 months of operation, the American aircraft carrier 'Gerald Ford' has returned to Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. According to Breaking News ࡆ Breaking News Negotiation ࡆ Immediate War, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is expected to welcome the ship's 4,500 crew members this coming Saturday.

Facts and figures

The voyage lasted 326 days, a figure that represents "the longest deployment of an American aircraft carrier in the last 50 years," according to reports by Breaking News Immediate War America News. This is the third-longest record since the Vietnam War.

Conflicting reports on the ship's condition

While Western and neutral sources focus on the operational record, channels identified with resistance elements present a different picture. Official Saberin News Channel, a channel identified with positions critical of the US, described the ship's return as the homecoming of a vessel "with a damaged hull and exhausted forces."

In the same report, Saberin News claims that during the mission, the ship encountered technical and logistical difficulties, including "fires, clogs in the sewage systems, and a shortage of supplies," and even raised an unverified claim regarding an "Iranian missile strike." On the other hand, sources like Breaking News Immediate War America News noted more moderately that in recent weeks, the ship dealt with "problems such as a fire and malfunctions in the sewage plumbing," without addressing further military claims.
