– US Sending Nuclear-Powered Carrier For ‘Higher Stakes’ Red Sea Mission:

Since the start of the Gaza war at least 20 ships have been damaged in the Red Sea amid the ongoing Houthi campaign to punish Israel and its international backers. The US-led Operation Prosperity Guardian is something which has retreated from headlines as it has by and large proved ineffective.
US warships patrolling waters off Yemen have shot down dozens, or possibly even hundreds of drones and missiles at this point – while also at times carrying out offensive operations – but the Iran supported Houthis have remained undeterred.
The Pentagon is now readying the next step, sending the USS Harry S. Truman nuclear-powered aircraft carrier into the Red Sea. US military magazine Stripes writes of recent planning: “The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and its 6,000-some sailors have spent recent months training in the western Atlantic Ocean for that mission — a rare, pre-planned deployment expected to take the ship into a hostile environment.”
