| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] The third American aircraft carrier has arrived in the Middle East and deployed to the Arabian Sea. This was reported by the US Central Command (CENTCOM). The aircraft carrier George HW Bush was dispatched to the Middle East at the end of March. It took her a month and a half to reach the Arabian Sea from the United States. The carrier group traveled to the region via an alternative route, not through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea, but by sailing around Africa's Cape of Good Hope. In the Strait of Hormuz, a carrier group, along with the USS George HW Bush, is carrying out a mission while the US Navy maintains a naval blockade of Iran from Oman. The carrier has over 60 aircraft on board. Naval groups led by the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford are also deployed in the area. "The carrier's presence in the Arabian Sea strengthens U.S. commitments to regional allies and ensures the security of maritime trade routes," CENTCOM said in a statement on its social media account. Central Command added that 51 vessels were ordered to turn around or return to port to prevent commercial ships from entering or leaving Iran.
