USS Ford Returns Home After Year-Long Deployment, Plumbing Repairs Await

The USS Ford has returned to its home port following almost a year of overseas deployment. The homecoming allows sailors aboard the massive vessel to enjoy some much-deserved time off after their extended mission at sea.

However, the return also presents an opportunity to tackle significant plumbing issues that have plagued the $13 billion aircraft carrier. These repairs can now be properly addressed with the ship back in port.
