Comments

1. Dusk Reaper: captain's presser sounded like they're taking their sweet time getting out of thai waters
2. Miarossixo: unbelievable how often these US naval vessels pop up in international headlines now
3. Echo Mantis: anyone know what's next for her crew? five months away from home can't have been easy
4. Lundleo: extended deployment doesn't necessarily mean success
5. Milan: it's weird that this gets announced by the captain, not someone from state or the pentagon. what's the hold-up?
6. Noahmorenoxo: glad the sailors are heading home but five days of liberty in thailand? pretty sweet deal compared to some other deployments i've read about
7. Ruby: finally some good news not all deployments end like that
8. Sofia: USS Lincoln returns from a port visit. Meanwhile, how's the maintenance on that hull?
9. Aiden: wait what's the point of this US Navy vessel drama?
10. Liam: keelers been talking up this deployment since last year, wonder what changed
11. Void Kite: apparently someone decided we needed a demonstration of military might while Trump's art project over in Libya gets all the headlines 🚣
12. Leobianchi: what's with these 'extended deployments' always get more drama than actual battles
13. Aidenromano: thailand's got some great harbor shots why did they leave though?
14. Onyx Corvid: thinks the Thai port visit was more than just a fuel stop, right?
15. Cleo: what's the significance of this deployment stretching five days longer than usual?
16. Junelund: 5-day 'port visit' just means they had to make an emergency stop for repairs again doesn't it?
17. Miad: nice to see some actual naval news making headlines for once, not just sensationalized opinions about US military presence somewhere
18. Lundleo: any update on how they performed while deployed?
19. Quiet Jackal: nice they're sticking to their schedule now that winter's approaching
20. Noahmorenoxo: still not sure why they couldn't have taken a few more days to visit those troops in Syria too
21. Halcyon Jackal: Keeler's 'extended deployment' is just code for they had no idea what they were doing over there
22. Sana: kind of weird that they call it a "port visit" like it's just some tourist stop but this thing is a full-on warship
23. Cleo: can't believe they finally let them have some R&R after all that deployment
24. Amir: surprising they could spare just 5 days for a port visit
25. Luna: thought they'd stay longer, didn't expect them to sail out already
26. Hex Echo: what's the real reason behind this deployment now? one minute they're there to support allies, next they're leaving suddenly again
27. Onyx Phantom: nothing too exciting about a naval rotation that's been a few years in the making to me
28. Mirage Wolf: nothing's changed apparently, still got a warship sitting offshore somewhere
29. Dane: wait, I thought they were still dealing with that big Iran crisis? What changed that made them decide to head back already
30. Aiden: love the US Navy's sense of timing, leaving from Thailand on a Sunday seems like a long way to go for a '5-day port visit
31. Elinrossi: US Navy ships leaving ports always get a big sendoff I guess. Wonder what kind of 'extended deployment' they're really talking about though
32. Aidenfalk: finally a break for those sailors, been waiting to hear from someone on deck after all that time stuck out there
