This same carrier (USS Haryy S Truman) was involved in a collision back in Febuary.

Is the ship quickly becoming the new "USS William D. Porter"?

This one time on an LHD, I was riding brakes in a helicopter, we were towing from the hangar up to the flight deck.
The elevator tops out, we're supposed to go forward, instead the driver gooses it and he's still in reverse. I stood on the brakes, at 6'1" I was stretched out in that cramped cockpit. Only parts of me touching the plane were my shoulders in the seat and my toes on the brake pedals. Either we stopped or my feet were going through the chin bubble.

Houthis ain't got to do nothing when we are this competent

I am sure Israel will pay us back for this operation 🤡
