  1. The #USSAbrahamLincoln arrived in #Thailand Wednesday for its first port call in 9 months during a patrol that’s included 208 consecutive days at sea, 200 days in a #combat zone & concerns about conditions aboard the aircraft carrier.

    …The carrier & its crew of ~5k #sailors & #Marines have been at sea nearly continuously since departing San Diego on Nov 21, 2025.

    …Aircraft carriers typically make port calls every 30 to 45 days for maintenance, resupply & crew rest.

  4. The Blue Tribunal

     The tide throws itself over the land so suddenly that we call it storm, as if a thing were simply its cause. Thunder shakes our bones like dank justice as bright veins of lighting search out their evidence. Something stands accused, and I, having forgotten how to pray, can only hope that the clouds will break somewhere above the Atlantic. 

    Elsewhere, unseen, ships really bob idly […]

  6. In one of the most blatant pieces of malevolent corporate greed I've seen, I'm greeted by headlines today that around 2500 seafarers are still stranded in the Persian Gulf, simply because the shipping companies they work for don't want to spend any extra to fly them back to their homes.

  7. Do #sailors always use #nautical miles rather than kilometres? #NauticalMiles
    I ask because I was wondering how long it would take to sail from #Iona to #Ballycastle - apparently about 15 hours; maybe a two-day trip with a short rest at #Islay

  8. Fucking #MAGAt weeping about how much he respects American #soldiers.
    What about #sailors, #airmen, and #marines, you fucking posing jackass? How about the merchant marines, who had the highest casualty rate in WW2?
    I'm a merchant mariner and volunteered for call up if needed. I'm a lefty though. We aren't counted. No matter our service. But some rando karaoke dj wearing flag shorts is a better American.
    Apparently.

  9. The USS Gerald R. Ford & its ~5k #USN #sailors & deck of #warplanes will be accompanied by #cruisers & #destroyers in a show of force that is meant to be ready to respond to anything, from possibly interdicting additional #weapons from reaching #Hamas & conducting #surveillance.

    The large deployment… underscores the concern that the #UnitedStates has in trying to deter the #conflict from growing. The Israeli govt formal #DeclarationOfWar …gave the green light for "significant military steps"….
