USS Gerald R. Ford Ends 10-Month Deployment

USS Gerald R. Ford will depart the Middle East in coming days, ending a 10‑month deployment involving about 4,500 sailors.
Its exit will lower U.S. naval presence as peace talks with Iran remain stalled, potentially affecting regional security dynamics.
The carrier joins USS George H.W. Bush and USS Abraham Lincoln, which remain in Arabian Sea enforcing a blockade on Iranian‑linked vessels.
