ChatGPT hot take on USS Gerald R Ford trip to Venezuela. USS Gerald R. Ford travel time question: * **Departure:** Split, Croatia → **Oct 26 2025** * **Average speed:** \~20 knots (standard transit speed for a carrier strike group) * **Distance:** ≈ 4,600–4,800 nautical miles (via Strait of Gibraltar → Atlantic → Caribbean) * **Transit time:** ≈ 9 days at 20 knots ✅ **Estimated arrival window:** **Nov 3 – Nov 4 (2025)** So yes — **today** is roughly when the USS Gerald R. Ford would be arriving or entering Caribbean waters, likely near Puerto Rico / the Windward Passage / the southern Caribbean corridor depending on its specific mission profile.
