Schuster notes that passing the 60-day mark at sea often leads to a significant decline in morale and increased mental health risks. The deployment was extended and redirected from the Pacific to the Middle East, resulting in 12-18 hour workdays during active kinetic conflict.

Dr. Michael Hudson posits that the United States views Israel primarily as a "landed aircraft carrier" to secure control over Near Eastern oil reserves. He suggests that the Biden administration's foreign policy team, including Jake Sullivan and Antony Blinken, are executing long-standing neocon plans for regional domination. According to Hudson, the partnership is driven by U.S. strategic needs rather than Israel controlling American interests.
