US Navy aircraft carrier set to break record for longest deployment in modern history

The Navy's USS Gerald R. Ford supercarrier is about to break a modern record for the longest deployment of an aircraft carrier since the Vietnam War. By Tuesday, the Ford will have been at sea for 294 days, tying the record the USS Abraham Lincoln set in 2020. If the Ford stays at sea for 333 days, it will surpass the record set by the USS Midway, which saw the longest deployment ever for a carrier in 1973 during the Vietnam War.
