The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier has returned to the Red Sea, escorted by two destroyers, according to U.S. defense officials. The carrier had spent over a month at Souda Bay, Greece, following a fire in a laundry area on March 12. The U.S. official told CNN the move is aimed at deterring Houthi attacks on shipping and maintaining regional stability. The carrier strike group's presence underscores continued U.S. military focus on the Middle East amid ongoing tensions.
