  • I’ve seen these pictures attributed to USS Abraham Lincoln on some other sites.

    That ship recently suffered a major supply crisis while it was on station in the middle east. The reason is that Iran was able to deny the use of all of the nearby bases with their drones and medium range missiles. Thus the US Navy resorted to resupplying Abraham Lincoln from Diego Garcia, which is thousands of miles away.

    So it’s plausible to me that these are real images, and they represent a very serious problem for the navy: both in terms of total calories and in the loss of morale from low quality.

    In any case, Abraham Lincoln has since been relieved, and will make a liberty port call in Thailand after 245 days at sea.












  • Depends probably on the nature of what “forwarded the costs” means.

    If the business collected the costs from you and then forwarded them to CBP while acting as your agent, then you can demand a refund from them or sue them.

    If you agreed to purchase goods for one price while also agreeing to pay a separate “tariff reimbursement fee” in exchange for purchasing the goods, you’re probably shit out of luck.

    Various shades in between might be arguable or litigatable one way or another.
