US EditionBombs Headed for Iran in Operation Epic Fury Don Names of US Sailors
Sailors personalized 2,000-pound Joint Direct Attack Munitions with names and messages, continuing a longstanding military tradition to boost morale during Operation Epic Fury.
- Photos released this week depict sailors staging ordnance on the USS Abraham Lincoln's flight deck, with names visible on the bombs, on Feb. 28, 2026.
- Historian John McCaul notes that inscribed weapons date back thousands of years, with British Museum artifacts and messages on the WWII atomic bomb `Fat Man` documented by photos.
- Aviation Ordnancemen in red vests wrote names and messages with chalk and marker on noses, tails, and sides of bombs, including Olivia, Jose, Alex, Adam, Naomi, and Joey.
- The photographed ordnance appears to be GBU-31, a 2,000-pound JDAM fitted with a BLU-109 penetrating bomb, GPS-guidance kit, and yellow stripes indicating live warheads.
- Observers note that personalization serves both morale and fundraising, as Ukrainian artillerymen have recently inscribed messages on shells, echoing practices by Jordanian pilots in 2015 and charity groups; an American Vietnam-era pilot called it `the primitive magical notion` of control.
