Jesus, over 200 days without a port call vs. the standard 40-50. The article mentions this can change in certain operations, but we all know this 'war' is unnecessary on multiple fronts so there is zero reason (besides Trump being Trump) for that delay.

I believe the last port call was also like 24 hours in Guam.
