USS Gerald R. Ford Returns to Middle East Waters as Third US Carrier Heads to Region
The United States has moved one of its most advanced aircraft carriers, the USS Gerald R. Ford, back into the Middle East, according to two US defence officials quoted by the Associated Press (AP).
The officials said the carrier, which had been operating in the eastern Mediterranean, has now entered the Red Sea after passing through the Suez Canal. It was accompanied by two destroyers, the USS Mahan and the USS Winston S. Churchill.
“The Ford has transited into the Red Sea and is now operating in the region,” one official said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the deployment.
The move comes after the carrier spent more than a month in the Mediterranean following a fire in a laundry area that forced it to return to port for repairs. Despite the setback, the Ford recently set a record for the longest US aircraft carrier deployment since the Vietnam War.
