The U.S. was already planning to deploy the carrier Gerald R. Ford when U.S. warplanes bombed three Iranian sites early Sunday to support Israel’s goals.

The Truman saw continuous action for over 50 days, conducting precision airstrikes and launching missiles while under constant fire from Houthi militants.
