Welcome back to the FLUCTUS channel for a feature of the Gerald R Ford Class, the world’s biggest aircraft carrier at sea. With a full load displacement of 100,000t and the 78m-wide flight deck, this amazing warship has the capacity to carry more than 75 aircraft and accommodate 4,539 personnel, including the ship’s company, air wing and other support staff. A carrier strike group is huge, consisting of roughly 7500 personnel. 1 Aircraft Carrier, 2 Guided Missile Cruisers, 2 Anti-Aircraft Warships, and 1-2 Anti-Submarine Destroyers or Frigates. 65 – 70 aircraft. Now multiply that by 11 for the US Navy alone. Maybe one day we’ll be able to spend all these billions of dollars toward something which isn’t for national defense, until then, I’m glad we’re able to do so. I was on the Oriskany and Ticonderoga between 66 and 69. Both ships had one enlisted mess. I remember during non flight days, it was get in line all day long. 2000 or so crew members waiting to get fed in a 3

Apple-supplier Jabil Inc's India unit has begun making components for AirPods in the country and is shipping plastic bodies or enclosures for AirPods to China and Vietnam, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. Apple Inc and Jabil did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The move marks another step in Apple's plans to shift its manufacturing away from China amid rising trade and geopolitical tensions between Beijing and Washington. The iPhone maker wants India to account for up to 25% of its production, from about 5%-7% now. Apple has bet big on India since it began iPhone assembly in the country in 2017, in line with the Indian government's push for local manufacturing.

A homeowner who hit an Australian reddit thread hoping for suggestions on jazzing up a shoddy makeshift downstairs shower area received an unexpected dose of bloody black humour over the space one person likened to an “underground torture chamber”. The poster on the r/AusRenovation thread earnestly asked for tips on how to repaint the floor of the rustic shower space to protect the concrete resin underneath, noting it had been previously painted with a sort of enamel paint. “Don’t know if I’m better to do some kind of resin or spray silicone,” the aspiring renovator noted in their post. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> But it was the accompanying picture of a darkly lit downstairs area, walled off by corrugated iron and featuring suspicious red stains, a grim worktable and some incongruous shower loofahs which sparked a veritable “bloodbath” in the comments section. ‘Wolf Creek vibes for sure’: The shoddy shower that started it all.

Freshly-named NBA All-Star starter Luka Doncic gingerly walked off the floor with an ankle injury in the first quarter of the Dallas Mavericks game against the Phoenix Suns Thursday night. Though he is expected to be listed as day-to-day with what was determined a mild left ankle sprain, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Mavericks announced Friday evening that Doncic will miss Saturday night's game against the Utah Jazz. With just under nine minutes to play versus the Suns, Doncic tried to drive to the basket but was cut off by Cameron Johnson and had to spin back the other way. As he did so, he stepped right on Mikal Bridges' foot and awkwardly rolled his left ankle. He immediately winced in pain and hobbled back down the floor. After Torrey Craig hit a 3-pointer, the Mavericks called a timeout to get Doncic out of the game.  Luka went back to the locker room with an apparent ankle inj

The Dead Space remake review embargo has lifted, which means it's time to hear what critics think about Motive's efforts to revive this beloved horror series. And the efforts has apparently have paid off as we're looking at some nice numbers here. First things first, check out our review by lead features editor Jade King. In her opinion, "Dead Space is a triumphant remake that draws strength from familiarity instead of allowing its archaic origins to become a vice." The devs clearly succeeded in creating the definitive version of Isaac Clarke's first chapter, although this faithful re-imagining ended up a bit easier than it should be, thinks King.

by John Donnelly, meteorologist Low pressure developing over the southeastern US gradually makes progress with some overrunning rain ahead of the storm’s warm front on our doorstep by late afternoon/early evening. Before then cloud cover will thicken during the day as temps rise to the low 40’s from morning lows in the mid and upper 20’s with a light southwesterly breeze. ___ John Donnelly was born in Hialeah, Florida and moved back to Rhode Island and settled in Johnston, where he grew up until graduating from Lyndon State College in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology.

Japan has reported its consumer inflation hit a 41-year high of 4% in December, as prices for everything from burgers to gas surged TOKYO -- Japan's consumer inflation rate hit a 41-year high of 4% in December, as prices for everything from burgers to gas surged. That rate is still relatively low, compared to some other nations, including the U.S. Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, has been fending off deflation, or chronically falling prices, for decades. The last time core consumer prices rose that much was December 1981, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said. The Federal Reserve and many other central banks have raised interest rates to tame inflation but the Bank of Japan has kept its benchmark rate at a longstanding low level of minus 0.1%. A sharp weakening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and other currencies has added to pressures on the BOJ and speculation has been building that it might soon shift course and start raising interest r

"There's no 'there' there," Biden told reporters when asked about the classified documents. President Joe Biden said Thursday he has "no regrets" as the investigation continues into the classified documents found at his home and office. Biden broke his silence on the issue for the first time this week, despite repeated questions from reporters, during a trip to California to survey storm damage. He had not publicly addressed the matter since Jan. 12 and has talked about the document s only three times since the news broke earlier this month. Until Thursday, he had not done so since a special counsel was named. "You know what, quite frankly, bugs me is that we have serious problems here we're talking about," he said to reporters who shouted questions.

A forthcoming book by a former prosecutor could harm the ongoing criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump and his family real estate company, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Wednesday. That investigation led to the recent conviction of the Trump Organization and appeared to accelerate again on Tuesday when Bragg met with Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, about the hush payment Cohen says he helped arrange to Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who alleged a long-denied affair with Trump.

Manchester United had been aided by a rather tame post-Christmas schedule to extend their unbeaten run in all com Pet itions to eight Game s ahead of the Manchester Derby. Pep Guardiola's Cityzens came to town in a bit of a slump, but Jack Grealish's second-half opener put them in a great position to stroll out of Old Trafford with three points and bragging rights. Then, in the space of four unforgettable and controversial minutes, the Red Devils turned the tide. A 1-0 deficit swiftly morphed into a 2-1 advantage. The Theatre of Dreams was alive and kicking. United's victory over their noisy neighbours solidified their legitmacy under Erik ten Hag. While a title charge may be out of their reach, they're in an excellent position to return to the Champions League via a top-four Premier League finish. How Man Utd can qualify for the Champions League Man Utd have two avenues into the  Champions League  next season. As it stands, a top-four finish appears more likely than a

European Union leaders and member nations are putting forward moves to ensure the EU would not be left behind by the United States in the green industry race BRUSSELS -- From Paris to Stockholm and Brussels, European Union leaders and member nations were putting forward moves Monday to ensure the 27-nation bloc would not be left behind by the United States in the green industry race. Talk of huge subsidies to prop up companies at home and fears of a race to the bottom that allows domestic production to muscle out com Pet ition are set to dominate the EU's political agenda right up to a special economic summit Feb. 9-10. The tipping point came when the $369 billion U.S. Inflation Reduction Act was approved last summer, which EU leaders see as an attempt to cut European firms out of the lucrative American market for clean energy Technology like electric vehicles and excessively favors a “made-in-America” approach that discriminates against European multinationals.

Thousands of protesters angry at Tunisia’s economic crisis and the president’s increasingly authoritarian drift have marched through the capital TUNIS, Tunisia -- Thousands of protest ers angry at Tunisia’s economic crisis and the president ’s increasingly authoritarian drift marched on Saturday through the capital, responding to a call from opposition parties to mark 12 years since Tunisian protest ers unleashed Arab Spring uprisings around the region. The protest move comes after disastrous parliamentary elections last month in which just 11% of voters cast ballots. The elections are meant to replace and reshape a legislature that President Kais Saied dissolved in 2021. The second round has been set for Jan. 29. It also comes as the country is going through a major economic crisis, with inflation and joblessness on the rise. Tunisians have been hit with soaring food prices and shortages of fuel and basic staples like sugar, vegetable oil and rice in recent months. The National Salva

The developers at EA Motive have shed some light on the decision to add a full voiceover for the previously-unvoiced protagonist Isaac Clarke in the upcoming Dead Space remake. The idea was to make the character a part of the conversation, to give him more agency, and to better connect him to the terrifying reality he ended up in. In the original Dead Space trilogy, Isaac only got to talk in the second entry, with Visceral moving towards a more traditional, cinematic narrative. Allowing the character to speak freely might be one of the biggest variations Motive has taken with the remake. During the latest Inside Dead Space blog, creative director Roman Campos-Oriola explained that Isaac is "more involved in events and solving problems" than before, and not simply being told to go fix a bunch of stuff throughout the whole Game .
