Carrier groups normally have logistical supply ships called tenders that can come and go, but it looks like they pivoted to Iran without laying in stock or coordinating resupply. They were also blocking mail flow, which points to "no supply ships" as well.
This is just abusive, which should be no surprise. Trump et al don't give one fuck about actual soldiers or sailors, they just want the glory of slaughter while doing the least possible for the "suckers" who serve. Big fucking empty words from those assholes, somehow even more so than usual.
Normal deployments are bad enough, but I can guarentee moral is in the absolute shitter right now. This kind of shit is why people stock up on canned chicken/tuna/etc when in port. The food on the ships is normally terrible, but to also not even have enough calories to work the 7 day a week you do underway is just fucking unconscionable.
... supply tendies? For good soldier points?
They gave them the steak and lobster dinner before they started this shitshow, it shows they care /s
They gave that to Pentagon employees, not soldiers I thought?
