After the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East, the Pentagon urgently dispatched the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Strike Group to the region. Coupled with the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford Strike Group in the Mediterranean, aircraft carriers are deployed once again in the Middle East. The Ford carrier, the first ship of the new Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, began its first combat deployment in May of this year and has been deployed for over six months, surpassing 200 days. This marks a new record for the first fully deployed carrier and signifies that the Ford is gradually reaching its status as the flagship vessel of the aircraft carriers.

There was a time when the Ford carrier faced continuous negative news. Since its commissioning in 2017, various new technologies used on the Ford-class carrier were not fully ready, leading to numerous issues and a lack of combat capability. This recent comprehensive deployment has finally allowed the steel beast to shake off its previous setbacks and showcase its capabilities.
