New carrier USS JFK CVN 79 sailed under its own power for the first time yesterday

That NFO might have one ship's company tour as a shooter at most. Most of what he said was correct. It was a ******* joke you dumbass! Your sense of humor needs an overhaul. The point was that you dont see a gynecologist for a toothache

Someone might as well ask your ******* opinion on climbing Mount Everest. I'm sure you have much experience in that area. When was that again?

You are just being a dick!
You are just being an arse!

If it's your post #34 above that "was a ******* joke" it was rather lame and not clear as humor. Better work on your delivery, which needs an overhaul.

How is it you're so sure the NFO had only one tour on the/a ship ?!

As for the toothache, if result of cunnilingus might need to consult a gynecologists. ;):p
 
With all due respect, asking an NFO about nuclear carriers is like seeing a gynecologist for a bad tooth.
How about reading the full linked article and maybe the other also at that URL;

The question is: would it be possible to keep these vessels in service longer than their programmed life?


‘I served aboard two carriers on their last deployments, Enterprise being one of them, and those boats were worn out and past ready to be put to pasture,’ Andy Burns, former US Navy Surface Warfare & Naval Flight Officer, says on Quora. ‘Enterprise was not “up to date” by the time she was decommed. And their robustness and cost are the reason they’re kept around as long as they are. Sailing thousands of miles of saltwater while flinging planes off the roof is a hard life. Fifty years – programmed life of a CVN – is a long time to be in such service.

Burns sounds a lot more qualified to talk about the subject than you do, swabby.

P-3 NFOs get sea time by being shooters. I have two friends who did tours on carriers. Other NFOs are not ships company but air wing. I actually do know what I am talking about.

He was also likely trained as a SWO and as a nuke which .makes him much more qualified than any plain old GIB. (guy in back).This guy was carrier command material most likely.

Short answer: no. They are 50 years old.

It's also a very rational look at the realities of duty on vessels.
