A fire occurred on the USS Gerald R. Ford, resulting in injuries to at least two sailors. The fire, which may have started in a laundry room, reportedly took some time to extinguish and affected living quarters, leaving a significant number of crew members without beds. The incident's details and the carrier's current status are not entirely clear, with some reports indicating it has left the Middle East, while others provide conflicting information about the fire's impact and the ship's operations.
