The USS Gerald R. Ford has moved from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, transiting the Suez Canal on Thursday, according to images posted to a Pentagon website.
The aircraft carrier was ordered to the region from the Caribbean Sea in mid-February and had been operating in the eastern Mediterranean for the opening days of the war with Iran. At least one of the destroyers accompanying the carrier also transited the canal, according to the images posted online.
