Was the USS Gerard Ford Aircraft Carrier hit by Iranian Missiles and/or Drones, and not just suffered a Laundry Room Fire?

More and more People are starting to realize and entertain the Thought that the USS Gerard R. Ford (CVN-78) Aircraft Carrier of the United States Navy (USN) may in Fact have been hit by Iranian Missiles and/or Drones, and not just suffered a “Laundry Room Fire”.

For those who are not familiar with what happened, the USS Ford was Part of the Main United States (US) Forces that participated in the "Operation Epic Fury" against Iran that started in late February 2026.

However, more than two Weeks later, last March 12, 2026, the USS Ford reported that a Fire started in its Laundry Room that took 30 hours to extinguish. Nobody was said to have died in the Incident, but the Ship was forced to leave the War and dock in Greece.

The Damage had been so intensive that some reports say it will take the Aircraft Carrier 14 Months or more than a Year to get back into Service. But the biggest Question here is, how could the Ship suddenly suffer such a devastating Fire while on actual Combat Operations?

Was it just a “Coincidence”, or was the Ship really hit by Iranian Missiles or Drones, and the US is just trying to cover Things up for now? Note that the US Government has NOT released any Pictures and Videos that I am aware of about the Damage.

My Guess is that if they did, Experts from other Countries could easily tell whether the Fire was from Weapons Damage or not. Note that the USS Ford is no ordinary Ship, it is the newest Aircraft Carrier in Active Service with the USN, having been commissioned only in 2017.

At 337 meters and 100,000 tons, it is the largest Aircraft Carrier ever built and also the largest Warship ever built. So how could a Ship that is so brand new suddenly suffer an “Accident” while doing Combat? Time will tell what really happened with this Ship, the US is known to have a Habit of denying its losses during War, but then revealing the Truth only Years or even Decades later.
