The Pentagon has ordered a second carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea in support of Israel, United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement on October 14.
According to the statement, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) includes the guided-missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea, guided-missile destroyers USS Gravely and USS Mason, in addition to the Carrier Air Wing 3 with nine aircraft squadrons and embarked headquarters staff.
The U.S. warships are not intended to join the fighting in Gaza or take part in Israel’s operations, but rather to send a message of deterrence to Iran and its allies in the Middle East, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The deployment is a “part of our effort to deter hostile actions against Israel or any efforts toward widening this war following Hamas’s attack on Israel,” Austin said in the statement.
The Eisenhowerwill CSG will join the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which arrived off the coast of Israel last week. The Ford CSG includes the guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy as well as the guided-missile destroyers USS Thomas Hudner, USS Ramage, USS Carney and USS Roosevelt.
The Eisenhower can carry more than 60 aircraft, including F/A-18 fighter jets, while the Ford can deploy more than 75 aircraft.
In addition, the U.S. Air Force announced earlier this week the deployment of F-15, F-16 and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the Middle East in support of Israel.
The U.S. was the first country to voice its support for Israel following the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack. At least 1,300 Israelis were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded in the attack. Hundreds others were captured by Palestinains fighters or went missing.
Israel has already received several weapons shipments from the U.S. military. Meanwhile, Washington continues to ignore the high death toll from Israeli strikes on Gaza that has reportedly exceeded 2,200 including hundreds of women and children.

“the u.s. was the first country to voice its support for israel”
of course they would. israel owns their ass.
im questioning that narrative. israel couldn’t survive a week without american blood, money or weapons. the settler colony talks tough, but they are heavy dependent on america. russia on the other hand, is fully self sufficient in military production to sustain years and years of attirional warfare
the hard truth is israel is nothing than a rothschild colony built from terrorism as the so-called western leaders are nothing more than puppets.
it would be perfect karma if both the wank carriers joined the ‘us f35’ submersible at the bottom of the sea, lol.
all it takes is one missile strike against a floating carrier, and america’s paper erection will not recover again
you’re 100% correct. once the first carrier suffers a critical hit, not even a sinking but just a serious hit disabling it or forcing it to stay outside of a targeting zone making its aircraft on board useless ornaments to be polished and displayed but never used.
then these $13 billion white elephants will be exposed as an abomination to foresight
i said this earlier. a reminder that hezbollah has anti ship missiles with a max range of 300-500km some say further. of course they would need a 3rd party intelligence to assist with targeting. imagine russia returning the favour with one of its surveillance aircraft providing intelligence to syria who relays to to hezbollah its ally? be a fair given its what america is doing. russia just protecting lebanon and syrian sovereignty.
let’s make it two missiles then for two aircraft carriers please
you all know that those floating us toilet bowls will be sunk in a few hours once full-open hostilities start? the us is rushing head-long into its destiny with doom!!!
hahaha sound good, but this is just talk. of course they aren’t just toilet bowls. one carrier strike group is capable of destroying entire countries if they wanted to. anyone can talk, try to get close to a carrier or try to attack them and you will see what will happen next.
and a well placed missile can destroy thr toilet bowl. also reminder besides missiles hezbollah also has semi submersible drones. i would say if hezbolah gets involved directly with isreal and the us retaliate they will lose a carrier either sunk or severely damaged due to drones and missile strikes against it. the loss of a single carrier would be humiliating and economically disastrous for the us.
yo matey.. what the fk you talking about
all that fire power, yet it wasn’t of much use when afghan goat herders battered you over the head and kicked you out of their country.
another confession of israel’s weakness!
instead of moving toward peace and preservation the usa brings more destruction and death to the globalist game of empire in the mid-east.
another expensive message. in defense of israel? to just sit there inviting some hostile event? it makes no sense unless there is 6o be a dastardly provocation set up for this group to go attack something or someone. it’s how it “works.” the crews might as well be wearing white helmets.
syrien wäre das ziel
a floating relic of ww2. sitting duck for hypersonic missiles.
there’s a scary thought in the back of my mind i just can’t shake. there is zero need for a 2nd carrier group in the mediterranean for the usa, they already have one there. they also have reaper drones in jordan. they have another 40-50 aircraft in saudi arabia. bases in iraq,turkey, italy, greece, bulgaria, uae and kuwait.
there is absolutely no logical military need for such a force build up unless there was a larger plan in play,
usa is going to do ‘an iraq’ on syria. us gov hates assad for surviving their regime change attempt. now they are going to complete the business. usa air power + israel ground troops, now including drones + usa backed ‘rebel’ groups in syria. if usa do not manage regime change they will still bomb syria to the stone age and chaos like libya.
unless both carriers have another agenda: the possible geo-engineering warfare i.e. artificial earthquake.
syrien im visier
2 carrier groups so that israel can carry its genocide while reducing the risks for the hezbollah and the surrounding countries to put a stop to the murder of civilians.
schöne grüße aus deutschland und viel erfolg den israelis die moslems auszurotten !!!
schöne grüße aus deutschland und viel erfolg bei der ausrottung der moslems !!!
i hope hezbollah has real anti-ship missile cababilities.
let’s make them regret this. let’s make them celebrate this with torpedoes.
why isn’t there a big rocket flying towards that carrier
the master of the universe and the empire of the exceptionals and the eagles are so close of get their empire completed, almost controlled all the planet earth, they are so close to achieve victory…. their minions and puppets of the c.i.a killed my wife, they tried to neutralize me, or at least get me out of order so they proceed with the assassination of my wife.
dirty tricks and murder are all that hato specialise in.
i know friend florian geyer. they are killed so many citizens after wwii and during cold war, that my wife is just for statistics about how good they are planning and executing disguised assassination in third world countries. the masters of the universe, and the empire of exceptionals own third world countries, and they do as they please. c.i.a is just one tool and the c.i.a plants and agents owns third world goverments disguised.
da geht es um syrien!
israel is not long for this earth.
the more coloured the usa gets the closer that the black and hispanic vote will control all aspects of govt and breed their way into control of the us military…. and the funding for jews will end.
and the lords will will come- jews will be eradicated from the earth and man will live in freedom
