Newly released footage obtained by CNN has shown a rare and revealing look inside the USS Gerald R Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, following a major onboard fire earlier this year. The visuals show extensive internal damage, including charred bulkheads, melted materials, and destroyed living quarters, raising fresh questions about the severity of the incident and its impact on operations. At the time, the vessel was deployed in the Red Sea in support of US military operations in the region. While the US Navy stated the fire was contained and non-combat related, later accounts suggest the damage may have been more significant than initially acknowledged. The carrier, commissioned in 2017, is a key symbol of US naval power and a central asset in American force projection across global waters.
