U.S. Navy serves up turkey and sorties on Thanksgiving
Associated Press
ABOARD THE USS EISEN-
HOWER — While millions of
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving
with family and home-cooked
meals, the 5,200 sailors aboard
the USS Eisenhower are busy
launching fighter jets to strike
Islamic State targets in Iraq and
Syria.
The crew is spending their
second Thanksgiving on duty, and
will be carving their own roasted
turkeys when their duties aboard
the thousand-foot long American
aircraft carrier allow. Some will
spend part of the day flying over
the Middle East, dropping preci-
sion munitions on IS militants.
“It’s not going to stop us from
having a great Thanksgiving
meal,” Capt. Paul C. Spedero, Jr.
said. “We’re going to watch foot-
ball when we can. It’ll probably be
a little bit time-delayed but we’re
going to do all the things that we
can do and what we can expect to
do with our families back home,”
he said.
He estimates the carrier’s
fighters have dropped nearly 1,100
bombs in the fight against IS since
June, when the Eisenhower began
operating in the Persian Gulf. Last
Thanksgiving it was deployed off
the coast of Virginia.
Rear Admiral James Malloy,
commander of the Eisenhower
strike group, says his forces are
increasingly using precision muni-
tions as IS militants hide and fight
among civilians, including in the
northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
“They’re actually using civilians

In this picture taken Monday, culinary specialist Petty Officer First
Class Antonio Brown, 2nd right, organizes his team preparing ham
for the Thanksgiving dinner aboard the U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower
aircraft carrier.
In this Tuesday photo, Lt. Jennifer Sandifer, a 27-year old fighter
pilot from Austin, Texas, walks towards F/A-18E Super Hornet jet
before launching from the deck of the U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er aircraft carrier towards targets in Iraq and Syria.
in military capacity to shield them,
knowing that that would stay the
hand of the coalition,” he said. “The
power of the precision, responsive
airstrikes that we provide is even
more critical than before.”
Lt. Jennifer Sandifer, a 27-year
old fighter pilot from Austin, Texas,
plans to eat her turkey midmorning
before donning a flight suit labeled
with her call sign, “Fur.”
She’ll then climb up a metal
ladder and make her way across the
bustling flight deck, where engines
roar and the air is thick with
exhaust fumes. Mechanics and a
ground crew there maintain jets for
17 pilots, including her single-seat
F/A-18E Super Hornet.
She’ll taxi to the launch point
where a catapult will connect to
the fighter jet. A sailor known as a
shooter will signal Sandifer when
the catapult is ready and then she’ll
give a final salute before roaring off
the carrier going 0 to 145 mph in
2.5 seconds.
On Thanksgiving, as on any
other day, she’ll fly 6-9 hours and
strike targets identified by ground
forces, perhaps in Mosul or the
Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto
capital of the Islamic State group’s
self-styled caliphate.
Back on the Eisenhower, culi-
nary specialist and petty officer
first class Antonio Brown is orga-
nizing a feast consisting of 4,950
pounds of turkey, 1,050 pounds
of ham, 1,200 pounds of beef, 648
pounds of shrimp, 7,000 portions
of mashed potatoes, 400 pies, and
200 cheese cakes.
Brown is setting up carving
stations for sailors and serving his
take on standard Navy recipes, like
adding marshmallows to the sweet
potatoes. Brown said Thanksgiving
is the most important day of the
year for the carrier’s cooks and
kitchen staff.
“It’s like the Super Bowl. We
care about Christmas, yes indeed,
but Thanksgiving we try to show
out,” Brown said. “When every-
body is able to sit down and eat a
nice, healthy, nutritious meal and
everything, it’s like it takes them
back.”
The carrier’s chaplain, Cmdr.
Ted Williams, said sailors would
celebrate in small groups across
the carrier’s hold on Thanksgiving.

“That bond, that shared expe-
rience of being away and being
deployed, also brings us together,
and that is what we’ll use to draw
strength during the day while we’re
apart from our families back at
home,” he said outside the carrier’s
interfaith chapel.
After
the
Thanksgiving
airstrikes and a full day flying,
Sandifer will land in the pitch
black at night. It’s a feat she calls
a “controlled crash” and “one of
the most terrifying things I’ve ever
done.”
“There’s no horizon, there’s no
moon, you can’t really see the stars
because there’s just this haze and
all you see is this rectangle of lights
with a center line in the middle
that’s lit up,” she said.
