NYT reports that one of the US aircraft carriers has to withdraw to port due to a laundry room fire. About 600 sailors lost access to their bunks.
The fire, according to two officials, began in the vent of a dryer in the ship’s laundry facilities and quickly spread. Sailors battled the blaze for more than 30 hours, officials and sailors said.
The Navy did not respond to a request for comment. Central Command said in its statement that the fire caused “no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant, and the aircraft carrier remains fully operational.”
Story says it’s from March 16th. The post seems to be made either on the 16th or the 17th. Seems pretty not old to me.

Yes? What are you trying to tell me here? That’s a different article. With different information. That’s kind of how news works. Sometimes new articles are written with new information about topics.

They are thinking about when the shitters backed up. (honestly this might be all due to this ship also being on track for the longest ever deployment in us history).
