US Sends Carrier Ford Through Suez with Reports Bush is Following

  • On March 5, 2026, the USS Gerald R. Ford transited the Suez Canal with USS Bainbridge and a third unidentified warship, visible in Defense Department photos.
  • The move aims to reinforce U.S. presence amid recent regional attacks, as the carrier arrives in the Red Sea following Iranian drone strikes in Bahrain yesterday where thousands of sailors live in Manama.
  • Carrier Air Wing 7, with nine squadrons and about 2,400 personnel, flew 693 sorties over 28 days, placing strain on the extended deployment of USS Gerald R. Ford, which involves more than 4,000 aboard.
  • The movement strengthens U.S. posture and joins the USS Abraham Lincoln with reports that USS George H.W. Bush is preparing to deploy this month, possibly marking the first time three carriers operate in the region simultaneously.
  • The Iranian regime claimed it sank USS Abraham Lincoln for five days and said it `left the battlefield` after `encountering Iranian missiles and drones`, but CENTCOM dismissed those reports with photos and operational details.
