That Bryozoa was the culprit is a &#8220;reasonable assumption,&#8221; said Lt. Cmdr. Reann Mommsen, the ship&#8217;s spokeswoman. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">spokesperson.<\/span> &#8220;We will know definitively as we go through the clean-up process.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" assetid=\"24663039\" assettype=\"oEmbed\" src=\"https:\/\/presto-ggm.gannettdigital.com\/Portals\/_default\/Skins\/PrestoLegacy\/CommonCss\/images\/smartembed.png\" title=\"Meet the moss animals that clog ship intakes [ID=24663039]\" width=\"50px\"\/>Mommsen did not know how long the delay would last. Bryozoa delayed the deployment of the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush on Feb. 15, 2014, by about four hours. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">The delay did not effect the rest of the strike group&#8217;s deployment. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 6,000 sailors serving aboard five ships and nine embarked squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 1 comprise the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group. The <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">guided-missile<\/span> cruiser Normandy, and the <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">guided-missile <\/span>destroyers Winston S. Churchill and Forrest Sherman, departed Norfolk on March 9, while the <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">guided-missile <\/span>destroyer Farragut deployed from its home port of Naval Station Mayport, Fla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bryozoa, also known as &#8220;moss animals,&#8221; are inhabitants <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">common <\/span>in the James River during winter months. In the case of Bush, Bryozoa were sucked up by large intakes under the ship that take in sea water to cool various pieces of equipment. This fouled condensers which, in turn, affected the ships propulsion and electrical power generation. Crew members took off the large condenser covers \u2014 some measuring more than 6 feet \u2014 and pulled gallons of moss from condenser tubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aircraft carrier Enterprise had the same problem in March 2012. Bryozoa fouled three of Big E&#8217;s four main engines and five of her eight service turbine generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Theodore Roosevelt cruise is set for eight-months \u2014 once it gets its uptakes clean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The carrier Theodore Roosevelt was scheduled to leave Norfolk Monday, but was delayed for hours by millions of microorganisms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":48348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":65,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[12,65],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1012],"class_list":["post-22524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-navy"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"T77EBSOUFVAGXAA3TP26DQFXS4","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-navy\/2015\/03\/09\/tiny-creatures-believed-to-delay-carrier-tr-departure\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tiny creatures believed to delay carrier TR departure - Navy Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The carrier Theodore Roosevelt was scheduled to leave Norfolk Monday, but was delayed for hours by millions of microorganisms.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tiny creatures believed to delay carrier TR departure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The carrier Theodore Roosevelt was scheduled to leave Norfolk Monday, but was delayed for hours by millions of microorganisms.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2015\/03\/09\/tiny-creatures-believed-to-delay-carrier-tr-departure\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Navy Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-03-09T15:54:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T19:11:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lance M.
