USS George H.W. Bush to arrive in CENTCOM AOR

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is expected to arrive in the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility in less than 48 hours. This deployment will add significant carrier strike capability to a region already hosting the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group in the Red Sea. The arrival of a second carrier signals a continued high level of U.S. military presence and readiness in the Middle East.
