Washington: America's largest and most modern aircraft
carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is facing continuous sewage system failures.
According to foreign media, the modern vacuum-based sewage
system installed in this aircraft carrier, which was commissioned in 2017 at a
cost of $ 13 billion, is repeatedly jamming, affecting its 4,600-member crew.
According to the report, these problems persisted during
operations near the coast of Venezuela in 2025 and the series of failures
continues in 2026, while external assistance has been requested at least 42
times since 2023.
This situation has recently come to light at a time when the
deployment of the ship has been extended due to increasing tension in the
Middle East and preparations for possible operations against Iran.
In this regard, US naval officials say that these technical
problems have not affected the ship's combat capability and operational
readiness is complete.
