Tweaking the 'defense posture': USS Gerald Ford strike group to leave the Mediterranean -...

As the war in Gaza approaches its third month, the US Navy said it is sending the USS Gerald Ford Strike Group back home from the Mediterranean soon.
“In the coming days, the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group will redeploy to its home port as scheduled to prepare for future deployments,” the Navy’s 6th Fleet said in a statement Monday. “The Department of Defense continually evaluates force posture globally and will retain extensive capability both in the Mediterranean and across the Middle East.”
