MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT: Life Inside USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group

What is life like on board an aircraft carrier that is heading towards an area where the war is raging intensely? The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, a huge floating city and the flagship of the Carrier Strike Group, carries more than 5,000 US Navy sailors, all overflowing with readiness for the challenges ahead. Together with its accompanying ships and aircraft, the Carrier Strike Group forms a formidable force, ready to tackle a range of missions from combat to humanitarian aid. The atmosphere is filled with apprehension and strain as they make their way toward the turbulent Middle East, prepared to confront a conflict as dangerous as the unforgiving sea itself. But the journey itself isn’t as smooth as it sounds; though heroic, the souls aboard encounter days unlike any other, with their lives rather different as compared to the ordinary person on land. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is a BIG deal, a powerful presence in these uncertain waters. Plus, the current state of the Middle East, with its long history and ongoing conflicts, is like a box of matches, ready to ignite at the smallest spark. And in the middle of it all, here’s this huge carrier strike group, standing strong, potentially stirring the pot, ready for action at the very notice, housing brave individuals trained to take on some of the most difficult tasks, and live through the toughest of times.

As a sailor from 50 years ago, it never ceases to impress me how these carriers function as the tip of the spear. God bless all of you men and women who serve. 💙

Spent 20+ years in the AIR FORCE, with many deployments, war games, mobility assignments...I can't for a minute imagine a Sea deployment. CUDOS to the seaman who could do this, not for me, not on a ship, not ever. Love those of you who can do this ❤😂😢😢

I was stationed on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69 out of Norfolk. I worked in the Jet Shop located on the left port side all the way back aft with two huge doors leading to the fantail to test jet engines.

I worked on hvac systems for the Saratoga. Cv60.
We didn’t have onboard telephone or internet.
We stayed at sea a lot. I was onboard during desert storm and desert shield.
Home port was NAS Mayport.

I was assign to (AIMD) Ship's company aboard the "IKE" in Newport News, VA prior to her compilation. Then I became a "Plank Owner' due to the ship's commissioning in October of 1977. I also became a "Shellback" because we left the MED and rounded Africa to end up in the Persian Gulf to relieve the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) during the "Iranian Crisis". Then my tour ended in 1980 and flew to Norfolk.

I was on board IKE from 1980-1984 as an Operations Specialist. Spent 7 months off the coast of Beirut from April 1983 to December 1983. Only one port visit (5 days) in all of that deployment. Came back to Norfolk VA on December 22nd, 1983.

As a Submariner even I have respect for Surface Pukes. Must be nice to smell fresh air and see the sun everyday. God Bless our Troops.

[gemman]

I served on the USS Nimitz CVN 68 from 1979 to 1982 as a Naval Photographers Mate.... the men I served with became my bothers for life.
