I'm just not sure steel wool contains the right amount of iron

If it is true that provisions on some ships are low, my speculation would be that the Administration (Trump/Hegseth) felt that this would be such a quick and easy win that they didn't allow for the necessary work-up (and possibly over-riding objections from military planners). Many people don't realize how much goes into a large-scale deployment - in many cases it takes months of planning and preparation along with a logistics trail to supply multiple ships and hundreds of sailors. I forget which carrier task forces were deployed to the Gulf, but suspect they were already part way through a deployment cycle. Without spending several weeks in a friendly port loading up on provisions (and pre-arranging with contracted suppliers), their larders were possibly partially empty when they showed up on stations.

Look at it this way: if the tech billionaires have their way, war will be conducted by AI and the question of "food" will be redundant. (Just another element in their post-human callousness. Artificially generated bots who don't require food, who don't require salaries, etc. You can even generate your own 13-year-old girl to Epstein; or if you go too far and Robin Leach her, you can generate a replacement, no problem.)
