Edit: original title was "USS Eisenhower flees Red Sea" or something like that

~~Dumbfuck OP doesn't understand ship rotations.~~

~~The Ike was set to leave the red sea to return home. Even while in the Mediterranean, its aircraft can still conduct missions in the Red Sea.~~

Regular ship rotation

Ike‘s departure from the Red Sea leaves U.S. Central Command region without a carrier strike group or amphibious ready group for the first time since October, when the Houthi attacks began following the Hamas attacks on Israel and the subsequent Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
