Two Carriers to Gulf
“Two additional U.S. Navy aircraft carriers are on their way to the Gulf and the Red Sea, according to Kuwait Times. Kuwait began finalizing its “emergency war plan” on being told the vessels were bound for the region.
The U.S. Navy will neither confirm nor deny that carriers are currently en route. U.S. Fifth Fleet Combined Maritime Command located in Bahrain said it could not comment because of what a spokesman termed “force-protection policy.”
While the Kuwaiti daily did not name the ships it believes are heading for the Middle East, The Media Line’s (TML) defense analyst said they could be the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the USS Ronald Reagan.”
