U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier John C. Stennis: Out of Action for over 5 Years
Summary and Key Points: The USS John C. Stennis’s overhaul and refueling, initially set to conclude in August 2025, will be delayed by 14 months due to COVID-related workforce and material shortages, now projected for completion in October 2026. This will put its total time out of action for refit to over five years.
-Rear Adm. Casey Morton cited mandatory growth work and industrial base challenges as additional causes for the delay. The overhaul, begun in 2021, aims to extend Stennis’s service life by decades.
