The Navy's excuse for a warship arriving in Thailand visibly weathered with heavy rust and worn paint: "normal for a long deployment." Sure. When your premier carrier looks like it's been through a junkyard after nine months at sea, that's not "normal." That's either a maintenance failure or the Navy is running these vessels into the ground. The quoted tweet's photo shows the actual condition, and it's not a great look when you're supposed to be projecting American power.
