US Navy Ending Aircraft Carrier's Middle East Deployment
Handout photo dated August 4, 2020 shows a E-2C Hawkeye attached to the “Greyhawks” of Airborne Command and Control Squadron (VAW) 120 launches from the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) during flight operations in 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.
