ABC News' Matt Rivers is aboard the USS George Washington, one of two U.S. aircraft carriers operating near the contested Strait of Hormuz.
Flight operations are near constant as the ship enforces the U.S. blockade of Iranian oil while helping commercial tankers exit the strait. The conflict with Iran is now in its eighth month.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy told @IanPannell he didn't have a chance to watch Tuesday night's presidential debate, asking, "How was it? Interesting?"
