The US Navy’s Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) has arrived at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) where it will spend the next 28 months, undergoing planned maintenance.

28 months in the yards would suck. Lots of folks go TAD, either to some suck ass detail in the yards or sent to other ships. Lots of equipment is torn up for months or in this case years at a time and then at the end of the yard period, a shitload of work once things come back together. Portsmouth isn’t exactly a great place to be but I preferred that to Newport News.

We had a CHENG (Chief Engineer) on the Coral Sea, that SOB thought he was the CO. Bastard was in the middle of having his own melt down and took on Captain Queeg’s personality. The CO finally reeled him in.
