The Navy has lost ships before to fire....

OOPS, hot stuff or what?,

Say laundry facility fire and ship remains operational. Will be on deployment until at least May.
It is on a longer than usual deployment which could delay some large scale maintenance done in port.

This ship is on extended deployment, which will probably go to 11 months and set a new record. The ship has been used extensively and has had several other issues.

Wow, scary stuff!
The USS Gerald R. Ford has a crew capacity of around 4,500-4,600 people so it should be able to continue operating efficiently if 600 or so people need to be temporarily relocated to other ships in the region.

I doubt if any men would be transferred from this ship. With the ship being in a critical, high-readiness role, every job requires men with specialized training. That’s not to say that if an emergency would come about, it’s possible to move some men and resources if absolutely necessary.
The Ford is the largest carrier in the world.

Apparently, somebody forgot to clean the dryer lint filters in the ship's laundry, and the lint caught on fire.
