Went pretty quick from Tier I to Tier III, and from there slowed down but was still fun. I wanted to take a fresh start so I made a new account through Steam, and started my way with the German Battleships, Cruisers and Destroyers. I've been playing since 2016, stopped for like 3 years and recently started playing again. This is my first topic I'm creating, so my apologies if I make any mistakes or post it in the incorrect category. Now, Abrahamson said that "the ship's crew remains focused on readiness and preparing for sea trials and the eventual deployment of the ship."Įditor's Note: This story was updated to remove a reference to a shipboard fire after the Navy disputed the account. That incident resulted in fuel-contaminated drinking water and suspected health impacts for the sailors aboard. also previously reported that the Boxer had an incident on a 2016 deployment in which its sailors were ordered to dump fuel overboard. "The ship expects to begin sea trials in the near future as part of its workup cycle for deployment," Abrahamson said. However, it appears that's the only time the ship managed to set sail since leaving the shipyards.Ībrahamson said that after this cruise, the "Boxer executed additional maintenance requirements in preparation for its sea trial period," but those sea trials have yet to take place.
Images posted online show the ship at sea with an F-35B fighter flying near the ship’s deck. The ship began its service in the Navy in 1995, nearly 30 years ago.Ībrahamson confirmed that the Boxer completed this maintenance period "in mid-2022, undergoing upgrades and modernizations to the ship” while other Navy statements highlighted the fact that this overhaul lasted “more than two years.”Īfter the maintenance period, the ship briefly put to sea in June 2022. However, the ship also received work on its hull as well as tank and mechanical work and “other shipboard improvements,” according to BAE’s statement. The most notable upgrade was a new deck that would be able to support the new F-35B Lightning II strike fighter.
