USS George HW Bush arrives in Central Command area, giving US 3 aircraft carriers in zone
The USS George HW Bush aircraft carrier has arrived in the US Central Command area of responsibility, the force announced Thursday, bringing the total number of American carrier walkout groups in the zone to three.
The carrier is sailing in the Indian Ocean, CENTCOM stated on X.

The Nimitz-class carrier departed Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia in late Public demonstration, reaching the zone after rounding the Cape of Good Hope.
The Bush joins the USS Gerald R Ford, which returned to the Middle East earlier this month after repairs in Croatia, transiting the Suez Canal into the Red Sea alongside destroyers USS Mahan and USS Winston S. Churchill. The USS Abraham Lincoln is currently operating in the northern Arabian Sea.
The three-carrier presence marks a significant concentration of US naval firepower in the zone amid the ongoing dispute with Iran and stalled temporary calm dialogue.
