This is coolbert:
USA naval warship not able to make underway. Underway strictly in the sense of sea-trials.
And all after two year overhaul!
"After 2-Year Overhaul, Navy Confirms USS Boxer Can't Get Underway"
From Military.com | By Konstantin Toropin | 27 Jul 2023.
"The USS Boxer, one of the Navy's amphibious warships, is struggling to get to sea despite recently coming out of a maintenance period that cost the Navy $200 million and was supposed to ready the ship for the service’s newest fighter jet."
[....]
The Navy did not offer details on what issues specifically kept the ship in port, citing 'operational security,' but Abrahamson [spokesman] was clear that 'the Boxer’s preparation for sea trials identified additional maintenance requirements before the ship could get underway.'”
Overhaul the primary [?] goal to make the USS Boxer F-35B compliant. Two years and still not ready. A super-carrier of the Nimitz type is in port 2 1/2 years when undergoing overhaul/refurbishment!
Wartime configuration/mission of the Boxer I suspect to be in the sea-control mode.
