communication cut on carrier

This is my first time dealing with deployment for my SO. He’s on a carrier and, up until a while ago, we texted every day or every other day. Then, mid convo, things dropped to radio silence and it’s been that way for weeks.

Any idea how long this could last for carriers? I expected it to happen eventually but 🤷‍♀️ I’m lost. I don’t even know if a letter would get to them if they have some sort of cut communication?

Any navy SOs please lmk what’s typical. I’m not like worried or anything just trying to do some expectation setting!
