The US Navy has deployed three aircraft carriers—the USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Gerald R. Ford, and USS George H.W. Bush—to operate simultaneously within the US 5th Fleet/CENTCOM area of operations. This marks the first time since 2003 that three carriers have been active in this region concurrently. Meanwhile, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has returned to its home port after a deployment. The concentration of carriers underscores a significant naval presence in the Middle East.
