US Carrier Ford conducts COD ops in Red Sea

The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group is actively operating in the Red Sea. A U.S. Navy C-2A Greyhound transport aircraft, using the callsign AE0454, has been tracked departing from Chania, Greece, on a Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) mission to the Ford. This logistical flight highlights the carrier's sustained presence and operational tempo in the region, which has been a focal point of U.S. naval power amid heightened tensions.
