Trying to find more info on this. Not sure the source is credible, but I also don't find the navy reporting credible (not that they have made a statement that I can find)

There’s no way this is true. Seven sailors dead and the only outlet reporting it is an Iranian outlet? How would they obtain this information? I call propaganda.

I'm a bit suspicious that an Iranian media group would be able to report this.

WTaF!

Is morale and conditions so bad they're literally killing each other within their own units?

How is this not being blasted across all the media, this is big?

EDIT: this is an Iranian news site, so assume everything they post is disinformation unless any reputable org runs it.

I want a horror movie set in a doomed aircraft carrier themed around the death of an Empire.

A ship divided against itself cannot sail, I suppose.

Any other sources for this info? This seems like disinfo.

Crazy story! Looks totally untrue, though. Check the source.

I really hope this is bullshit but aren't their families saying they're starving on board?

Not a second source, but adjacent news.

A whole boat of folks who won't be voting Republican, hopefully.

got out of the army because I had no faith in the officer class making rational decisions. no ideas about this story other than to say enlisted ranks don't kill each other but will kill officers who make bad calls that threaten survival. last i heard navy was backing down to avoid losing an aircraft carrier. long way around africa because Suez canal is now too dangerous. great leadership as per usual. officers are mostly a bunch of college educated yes men, trying to make rank.
