USS Ford Sets New Deployment Record
Description
The USS Gerald R. Ford, the worlds largest aircraft carrier, has returned from an unprecedented eleven-month deployment, marking the longest since the Vietnam War. The Ford, along with the destroyer USS Bainbridge, played a significant role in U.S. operations, including the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praised the Bainbridge crew for their efforts, calling their work a job well done and making history. The Ford and its accompanying ships received the Presidential Unit Citation, the highest honor for a military unit, for exceptional performance against a tough opponent. The Ford spent a total of three hundred twenty-six days at sea, setting a new record for the longest deployment by an aircraft carrier in the last fifty years.
