Lloyd Austin Orders USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Georgia Deployment to Middle East Amid Tensions
Aug 12, 2024, 12:37 AM
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group 3 to expedite its deployment to the Middle East amid rising tensions in the region. The carrier strike group, which includes five destroyers from Destroyer Squadron 21, the guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay, and is equipped with F-35C fighters, is part of a broader military strategy to enhance U.S. presence in the area. Additionally, the USS Georgia, an Ohio-class guided-missile submarine, has also been deployed to the Middle East. These moves come as the U.S. increases its military capabilities in the region following a recent exercise with Italian forces in the Pacific.
