USS Gerald R. Ford sails into Middle East amid second week of US-Iran war
The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is now operating in the Middle East as the US war with Iran enters its second week.
The Pentagon released photos Friday showing Ford and USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) transiting the Suez Canal on Thursday, moving the Navy’s newest carrier into waters where Iran-backed Houthis have previously targeted US and commercial vessels.
