| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The American carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford has left the Mediterranean Sea, the US 6th Fleet reported on January 6. The group has been operating in the Mediterranean since June 2023 and was scheduled to leave the region in the fall of 2023, but its stay in the Mediterranean was extended due to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. As Regnum reported, another American aircraft carrier, the Dwight Eisenhower, along with its strike group, arrived in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea in the Middle East in early November 2023. In addition to the aircraft carrier, the group includes a missile cruiser and destroyers, as well as nine aviation squadrons. The American command stated that in the Middle East, the aircraft carrier, together with the strike group, would support maritime navigation, including making efforts to build the power of the United States and its allies in the region. The Dwight Eisenhower joined a strike force led by the Gerald R. Ford, which had previously arrived in the Mediterranean for the same purpose. Earlier, in March 2023, the American group off the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf was replenished with the destroyer Winston Churchill and several accompanying ships that passed the Suez Canal. In early November 2023, the United States sent a nuclear submarine to the Middle East, noting that this was being done to protect the American military in the region and curb the escalation of the conflict in Gaza.
