On Sunday, US Central Command said in an Ohio-class submarine was entering its area of responsibility as Israel enters its 31st day at war.
The social media post appeared to show the sub in the Suez Canal northeast of Cairo, CNN reported.
“On November 5, 2023, an Ohio-class submarine arrived in the US Central Command area of responsibility”, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
The Central Command area includes the Middle East.
The post did not name the submarine, but the US Navy does have four Ohio-class guided missile subs.
Also known as SSGNs, these are former ballistic missile subs converted to fire up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles rather than nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.
