[Three U.S. Aircraft Carrier Strike Groups May Be Simultaneously Deployed to the Middle East] According to a report by Jinse Finance on April 21, citing CCTV, the Middle East is expected to see the simultaneous deployment of three U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups in the coming days. It is reported that the 'USS Abraham Lincoln' carrier strike group is currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz, participating in maritime blockade operations; the 'USS Gerald R. Ford' carrier strike group is located in the northern Red Sea; and the 'USS George H.W. Bush' carrier strike group, which opted to bypass Africa, is heading north from the southeastern direction of Africa and is expected to enter the Arabian Sea—this carrier may take over the mission from the 'USS Gerald R. Ford.' In the short term, the U.S. military may have three aircraft carriers in the Middle East.
