Ok, hear me out. The hull number is for the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which was deactivated in 2012. After that, instead of decommissioning, Elon Musk decides he needs a private military and hires Erik Prince to set it up. He buys the still-intact Enterprise, gets it modified the way he wants it, and sends it to Brazil to force X/Twitter back into service there. Full of Blackwater/Xe mercenaries, meth and coke are distributed to all personnel as daily rations. Fueled by the success of their first mission (and lots of drugs and alcohol), the bastard craft took to the high seas. It resembled a mobile party now, but a heavily-armed party. They looted, they raided, they held whole cities to ransom for fresh supplies of cheese, crackers, guacamole, spare ribs and wine and spirits that now get piped aboard from floating tankers.
And they would immediately be taken out by a single precision strike by an actual warship the second they got within 100 miles of any US territory or any US military ship out on patrol.

I would like to participate in any rpg campaign you dm.

project 2025 probably defunds the military along with NOAA.
Trump will just divert the entire military budget into his personal accounts.
This sounds a tiny bit like the plot of Snow Crash
All it’s missing is a rag-tag flotilla city towed along behind the carrier.
I’m guessing Ford and Slartibartfast will try and get in to this floating party, and it’ll hit Arthur in the small of the back somehow :D
Zaphod, not Slartibartfast.
I think this leads to the Snow Crash timeline.
