The longest recorded stay adrift at sea is 484 days by Japanese captain Oguri Jukichi in 1813–1815.
For modern documented survival in a small boat, Salvadoran fisherman José Salvador Alvarenga spent 438 days adrift from 2012 to 2014.
For a lone person strictly on a life raft, Poon Lim survived 133 days.
The record for the longest single continuous stay in space by a human is 437 days and 18 hours, set by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov aboard the Mir space station from January 1994 to January 1995.
Exactly. All these great acts of endurance by great survivors. Why can't a few silly old sailors do the same?
DL says how long they stay at sea, they're the rules. If they don't like it, there's the electric boat - and the sharks.
The difference is that the survivors were at sea drifting with the currents, much by accident. The navy has a crew that is getting paid to do a mission. Running aircraft carriers are not something that comes cheaply. How much is the American taxpayer paying to keep this aircraft carrier and its crew at sea?
Oh, I don't know. Who cares?
Aircraft carriers are just things you use to annoy your allies and demand their territories. They're now totally useless in a drone war. The USS Gerald Ford got set on fire as soon as DL invaded Iran. The mullahs trashed it.
If you want to know, the mullahs destroyed every US base in the middle east. Uncle has to keep firing from friend's bases further afield, but even that doesn't help - he's depleted most of the missiles.
All DL has left to take on the mullahs is a lacklustre army and those silly robots Pete paraded around for his birthday.
DL's so over all this wartime prez business, it's totally boring. Iran was supposed to be easy.
DL wants to make those sailors suffer.
Executive privilege, innit.
