The U.S. Navy has three Independence-class littoral combat ships with a mine countermeasures mission package homeported in the Middle East. The Navy didn't provide details on its destination, but with the USS Gerald R. Ford currently sidelined, there is a warship vacancy in the Middle East. The newest addition to the U.S. Navy fleet is the 12th Virginia-class submarine and the fifth vessel to be named after the U.S. state. The senator made clear the holds were a direct response to Pete Hegseth's decision to block the promotions of two Black and two female officers. By Hope Hodge Seck
