The extended deployment of the United States Navy's largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), is set to last a bit longer. The supercarrier departed from Split, Croatia, on Thursday after undergoing repairs during a five-day port visit, the U.S. Navy announced. It was last month that CVN-78 suffered a fire in the laundry facility that took several hours to contain and impacted operations for two days. The U.S. Navy didn't indicate the extent of the repairs, but said, "Gerald R. Ford remains poised for full mission tasking in support of national objectives in any area of operation."
