Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to move to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea as a result of Saturday’s attacks in Israel.
The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group has been in the Mediterranean Sea since June when it resumed the U.S.’s continuous presence in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
As of Oct. 2, the carrier strike group, which includes aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG-60) and Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116), USS Ramage (DDG-61), USS Carney (DDG-64) and USS Roosevelt (DDG-80), were operating in the Mediterranean near Italy, according to The USNI News’ tracker.
In addition to the repositioning in the strike group, Austin also plans to increase Air Force squadrons of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, F-15, F-16 and A-10 tactical aircraft in the region, according to the secretary’s statement.
The movements come after Austin spoke with President Joe Biden about the U.S. response to the Hamas attack on Israel.
”Strengthening our joint force posture, in addition to the materiel support that we will rapidly provide to Israel, underscored the United States’ ironclad support for the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli people,” Austin said in the statement.
On Saturday morning, Hamas attacked Israel with forces moving in from the Gaza strip, surprising and overwhelming the Israel Defense Forces in southern Isreal, according to a CNN report.
“There are hostages and prisoners of war that Hamas took. There are also deaths among IDF soldiers. We don’t have an exact number yet – we are at war,” IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters.
Hamas is the U.S. State Department-designated foreign terrorist organization that governs Gaza, a territory the State Department considers occupied by Israel. At least 600 Israelis and 400 Palestinians have been killed, according to Israeli paper Haaretz.
Later on Sunday, Austin spoke with Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant “to express support for the people of Israel and to receive updates on Israel’s operation to restore security and safety from Hamas’ terrorist attack,” according to a Pentagon statement.
“[Austin] reaffirmed the unwavering support of the United States for Israel’s right to defend itself and provided updates on U.S. actions in response… Austin underscored these steps were taken to strengthen the U.S. military posture in the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts.”
Assuming it hasn’t already run out of duct-tape & super-glue – and “incidentals” like propellors – it surely can’t be long before HM’s Royal Navy completes “repairs” to its flagships…
and – with a swashbuckling “Helloooo.. Sailor!! 😘”- gets ready to “sail forth”… to join the USS Gerald R. Ford… in that watery abyss of the Persian Gulf… 🙄
Ooooooh the “Gerald R. Ford”, the name alone strikes fear in the hearts of the enemies of freedom and makes them piss down both legs. Named after a bumbling, lying, controlled sack of pig shit installed after the railroading of Nixon. Ford helped cover up the murder of JFK…aid and abet a coup, get a gazillion dollar aircraft carrier named after you.
I hope that floating glorified gay bathhouse gets torpedoed and explodes with every single one of the dumb-f*ck crew on board. If it DOES get torpedoed or hit with a couple cruise missiles, it will probably be at the bloody claws of Israhell, of course, as is their style, and the masses of dangerously stupid in the Jewnited States will all clamor for war as the Jew laughs his satanic ass to the bank again. But maybe, just maybe, the Jew in their deranged hubris will make it too obvious and enough people will make up to the truth.
The deployment of this carrier strike group and which doesn’t carry F35’s, has nothing to do with Israel and Hamas.
Iran has denied any involment in in the Hamas attack, so they clearly think they are in for some stick.
One or two ships in the CSG carry Tomahawk cruise missiles, around 100 on one ship.
I think this could be for an attack on Iran, or Crimea. The Nazi NWO sect has lost on thr ground in UKraine, so they could attack The Sevastopol Naval Base and the Kerch Bridge, to totally destroy it.
Remember what Nazi Nuland said about Crimea, and their willingness to attack it.
Bellator cover this story well, nothing left to add.
Aircraft carriers:
Floating practice targets.
Vulnerability on the high seas.
The sands of the hour glass, with respect to the survival of the West as we know it, have nearly run out. As our great sun moves through the ages, spirituality among the world’s people will grow and materialism will begin to sink into oblivion, much like Atlantis and Gomorrah.
Dwapara, the great age of 2400 years through which our sun now moves, is set to gradually reduce the density in the minds of man, which interferes with his ability to grasp the fact he, man, is a child of the Lord, a divine infant no less, with extraordinary spiritual potential.
We humans are all blessed because God, our true parent, loves us all!!! If that thought does not make you happy or bring a smile to your face, nothing will.
@Lerch
You would think at this stage they would’ve gotten around to developing a sub/carrier hybrid vessel with those vtol f 35’s to be fully deployed on a more covert basis ?
So Carl Jones thinks that things went badly for the NWO in Ukraine?
Oh, that’s adorable.
Let me help you see through the fog that so clearly is troubling you.
It has gone entirely according to plan.
The whites have been ethnically cleansed, the coffers filled to the brim by “aid” and a shadow military heavily armed.
Next comes the overture for closing Israhell 1 and the repopulating of Old Khazaria.
And into the bargain a full scale military engagement with the last remaining force that might stand against them – Iran, which will take out not only them but any remnants of white Europeans that can be conned into dying for the jews. Again
There is no missile on earth in a position to take out that carrier or its support. Not even Israel has such a missile so it’s safe. It’s just the US burning more fuel that’s all. Truth att: we are blessed because we breathe and proceed in thought to learn our new surroundings that is what born equal means. However from that moment we are not blessed and how disgraceful it is to say to a dying pregnant Palestinian woman that hey you’re blessed smile and be happy. You sound like Klaus. Grow up life isn’t joy Joy it is hard by its own discourse for a reason.
This is complete denial of reality:
“We humans are all blessed because God, our true parent, loves us all!!! If that thought does not make you happy or bring a smile to your face, nothing will.”
Just remember when the bombs rain down and your whole family get blowed to smithereens, God loves you!

But don’t listen to me, think happy thoughts. Keep taking those happy pills. Gazans, all 3 million trapped like rats and no where to escape to. Like shooting ducks in a pond.
Because that is God’s divine plan for them. It is a test of their faith. If they say god dammit, then they go straight to hell for all eternity.
Well, this war is escalating rapidly, Putin says:
“I am warning America, Russia will help Palestine and America can do nothing”

North Korea offering 100,000 ‘volunteers’ for war against Ukraine, says Russian state media
“Russian journalist Igor Korotchenko alleged on Russian Channel One last week that “100,000 North Korean volunteers are prepared to come and take part in the conflict” in Ukraine and aid Russia.”

And what about China? China’s Belt and Road goes right through Tehran and Moscow:

Just one land based anti ship missile is all that it will take. If the US intervenes openly or attacks Iran, I suspect that Hamas/Hezbollah may suddenly acquire one.

Advice to US ships in the Mediterranean: Flying the Stars and Stripes is likely to invite attacks from Israeli aircraft….but don’t worry it will be a “mistake”…
Elsewhere, I’m hearing predictable by sad news that Wembley stadium are cogitating on whether to showcase the Israeli flag before the international friendly with Australia…
The West is Israel’s bitch…and Israel is the Rothschild “Airstrip One” at the centre of the world continent…
@ SIMON SMITH
