The crew on the huge USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier stationed in the Eastern Mediterranean have reportedly been served a “steak and lobster” dinner ahead of possible bombshell news, according to one report.<\/p>\n

The US is building a massive military presence in the Middle East as it looks to send a strong message to Iran to stay out of the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon has placed around 2,000 troops and a series of units in a state of readiness as Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion into Gaza to fight against Hamas.<\/p>\n

This includes the deployment of USS Gerald R. Ford – the world’s largest warship that can ferry 75 aircraft – to the Eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

But there are reports the crew aboard the massive aircraft carrier were served a luxury dinner on Saturday – which is normally reserved for national holidays or the bearing of bad news.<\/p>\n

Open Source Intelligence Monitor, which has nearly 900,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), wrote late on Saturday: “Rumors are that the crew onboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) in the Eastern Mediterranean have been served steak and lobster tonight for dinner.<\/p>\n

“That is usually reserved for either Holidays (Which today isn\u2019t) or News which is expected to Lower the Crew\u2019s Morale like a Deployment Extension or possibly something else.”<\/p>\n

X user “Webmiester” (@YourWebmiester), who describes themselves as a “Gulf Vet” in their bio, responded: “I can confirm this was a thing, at least when I was in.”<\/p>\n

Open Source Intelligence Monitor replied: “I know some DDGs that do steak and lobster every Sunday for dinner, but I have never heard of a carrier having done that. I\u2019m sure this is some kind of ‘bad’ news.”<\/p>\n
