U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier John C. Stennis: 'Out of Action' for More Than 5 Years

The USS John C. Stennis's overhaul and refueling, initially set to be completed by August 2025, has been delayed by 14 months and is now expected to finish in October 2026.

Summary and Key Points: The USS John C. Stennis's overhaul and refueling, initially set to be completed by August 2025, has been delayed by 14 months and is now expected to finish in October 2026.
 
-The delay is attributed to COVID-related workforce and material shortages, as well as unforeseen mandatory growth work following ship conditions assessments.

-This delay follows the challenging overhaul of the USS George Washington, which took six years and was marked by difficult living conditions for sailors.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The technical name for the yard periods is called SFOMS (Ship's Force Overhaul Maintenance System) known to the crew as something "slightly" different (Someone's F*cking Over My Ship).  This yard period takes it to a whole new level. :facepalm2:
