The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower — which had been leading the response against Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden — is returning home.
U.S. Central Command announced that the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt will head to the Middle East to maintain a presence in the region.
The Eisenhower was deployed to the region more than seven months ago — just a few weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack against Israel.

Hi.
Did the Houthi actually damage the carrier?
5.56mm
Unknown?
The Teddy Roosevelt in South Korea this weekend some exercises coming up with Italy’s carrier now heading for the “Indo Pacific”.
It will be awhile till there’s a US flattop in the Middle East.
Rumors are it was damaged, but it is hard to bring a flat top down.
I guess we have to decide for ourselves. Several news agencies reported it was attacked, but now the Biden regime’s “fact checkers” on internet are saying the reports are false:

Did they at least leave behind a bunch of state of the art equipment like they did in Afghanistan?
Another long and profitable war perhaps?
IS LEAVING...
WILL be deployed....
WHY DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A SERIOUS GAP IN COVERAGE????

I was thinking the same. Should have turned the keys over to them. Makes me sick to see as a old sailor.
This was on 6/2:

So what changed? I can’t believe they would be told to pull out unless there was a good reason.
NPR OP?
BINGO! The #JihadJunta is following the Mullahs’ war plan.
Was the USS Eisenhower hit?
A later briefing by the U.S.-overseen Joint Maritime Information Center said the vessel initially reported two explosions off its port side and a third one later. “The vessel was not hit and sustained no damage,” the center said.5 hours ago
CENTCOM mentioned 30,000 flight hours and 55,000 miles.

Sure looks like a gap.
