We are almost positive this mission originated on a US Navy ESB operating in PACOM based on the videos.

To all who celebrate, happy Twin Peaks day.
24.02.2026 15:41 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Our story from Friday is pulling up old wounds for the Nimitz COVID deployment that kept sailors from their familes for almost a year due to quarantine restrictions. All told, the CSG was out for 263 days for national tasking. That doesn't crack our top 10, to the irriation of many NIM families.

The eastern med isn’t bad, you have pretty good access to Souda Bay.
The Arabian Sea and the Red Sea not so much.
If this deployment goes past May 5, it’s going to be the longest since the 1970s. All of those 300+ day deployments were in support of the Vietnam war with easy access to liberty ports.

Spotted in my FB feed. Who is telling family members that posting about ship positions will extend a deployment?
There's a difference between reminding people to be responsible and scaring them unnecessarily. Is this guidance ombudsmen are passing to families?
What do you say JFK?

Also, Lincoln is now in CENTCOM.

Here’s our best crack at the first story. A lot of questions remain on how the operation worked in terms of suppression of enemy air defense and what role the Marines and the aircraft carrier in the region played.

The gang parsed the 100s of pages of investigations released today and there's a lot here. The reports did confirm earlier narratives from the pilots, which allowed us to use this quote:
“Yooooo that shit is crazy, I can’t believe they’re shooting a drone down.”
