Story by Maya Carlin • 1d • 3 min read
Summary and Key Points: The USS Theodore Roosevelt (TR), a Nimitz-class supercarrier, has relieved the USS Eisenhower in the Red Sea as part of Carrier Strike Group 9 (CSG 9), accompanied by Carrier Air Wing 11 (CAW 11). This deployment is part of Operation Prosperity Guardian, aimed at countering Houthi attacks on shipping.
The Roosevelt, along with its escort ships and aircraft, represents a formidable force capable of defending against various threats.
Since July 9, U.S. forces have destroyed multiple unmanned aerial and surface vehicles launched by the Houthis. The mission aims to deter aggression and ensure the safety of merchant vessels in the region.
Aircraft carriers serve as an enduring image of the power of the U.S. Navy and help maintain stability and freedom of the seas. They frequently deploy to hotspot areas or the scenes of natural disasters. The Red Sea is one such arena of tension and has commanded a carrier presence since last October. On July 12, the USS Teddy Roosevelt strike group with its embarked air wing relieved USS Eisenhower as the carrier on station in the region to confront Houthi attacks on shipping.
