                  US Navy Ending Aircraft Carrier's Middle East Deployment

                  Handout photo dated March 26, 2022 shows the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) transits the Atlantic Ocean. The Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier will return to its home port, the U.S. Navy said on Monday, ending its deployment to the eastern Mediterranean, which started in support of Israel after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants. The nuclear-powered Ford, the Navy's newest carrier with over 4,000 personnel and eight squadrons of aircraft, became a powerful symbol of American support by rushing closer to Israel after the Palestinian militant group's attack.
