U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin has ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and Carrier Strike Group 3, which departed Guam yesterday, to expedite their deployment to the Middle East.
The group was planned to replace that of the
USS Theodore Roosevelt but is, in at least the short term, to provide reinforcement. The Roosevelt has already deployed at least one of her squadrons to Jordan*.
USS Georgia (SSGN-729), a conventionally armed Ohio class armed with Tomahawk SLCMs, has been ordered to reposition from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and Gulf.
