US EditionU.S. Navy Supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford Now In The Mediterranean
The USS Gerald R. Ford joins the Abraham Lincoln Strike Group to boost U.S. naval air power near the Middle East amid heightened tensions with Iran.
- USS Gerald R. Ford recently transited Gibraltar into the Mediterranean after in recent weeks operating in the Caribbean, part of a record-breaking deployment.
- Having been underway since June 24, 2025, the USS Gerald R. Ford has operated around 238 days as the U.S. Navy uses it due to limited available carriers.
- At 337 metres and powered by two A1B nuclear reactors, the USS Gerald R. Ford uses Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System and Advanced Arresting Gear, embarks an air wing of more than 75 aircraft, and carries roughly 4,500 sailors and air wing personnel.
- Positioned within reach of the Middle East, the carrier is reinforcing the Abraham Lincoln Strike Group and supporting pressure campaign against Tehran.
- Analysts warn this deployment underscores U.S. naval industrial base shortfalls, rising anti-ship missile threats, and strain from USS Nimitz scheduled for deactivation before its replacement.
