The United States’ largest aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford, and a escort destroyer appeared near Gibraltar on February 20. Reports indicate that the Ford aircraft carrier has passed through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. The White House previously ordered the deployment of a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East. The Ford aircraft carrier and its escort ships were dispatched from the Caribbean to the Middle East and will join the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group located in the Persian Gulf. The last time the U.S. deployed a “dual aircraft carrier” force in the Middle East was in April of last year.
