It’s been extended about 2 months past the usual deployment time. It needs maintenance and crew is likely getting tired. Yeap I said tired. A carrier at sea means Ground Hog Day every day you aren’t in port. LONG working hours which typically include two watches. Many times 4 hours sleep as well. Ship needs routine mandatory shipyards work 3 or more months or possibly a year depending on last overhaul and crew needs a deserved break from sea.
