To put a more modern perspective on it, 7 years ago in Kandahar, it was 7-days a week ops. Just saying like.
"7-days a week ops" for 7 straight months is absurd. I deployed twice to the Persian Gulf aboard a carrier. Conducting combat operations for 7 months straight would be impossible and attempting or expecting a carrier to do so absurd. The fact that they conducted combat operations for about half their 7 month deployment period is damn impressive.
