For the first time in decades, two U.S. aircraft carriers sailed together in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, U.S. 6th fleet announced Friday. “Operating dual carrier strike groups alongside Allies and Partners in a dynamic environment demonstrates our capability and capacity to respond with agility decisively to any contingency,” Vice Adm. Thomas Ishee, commander of the U.S. 6th Fleet said in a Friday statement. “Our presence sends a clear signal about our commitment to deter aggression and promote stability throughout the region.” Shortly after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in southern Israel, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin extended Ford’s deployment and shifted the strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean as part of the U.S. effort to keep the conflict from spreading.
