The Pentagon confirmed that it will send the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) to the Eastern Mediterranean, while the U.S. 6th Fleet command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC-20) will join the growing flotilla off the Israeli coast.
“The Department remains focused on three primary objectives: First, supporting Israel’s defense through security assistance; second, sending a clear message of deterrence to any actors considering involvement in the conflict; and third, being vigilant against any threats to U.S. forces,” Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said on Wednesday.
The U.S. Navy’s largest and newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and her strike group are already stationed off the coast of Gaza, while the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) is on its way to join the force.
