Today, the Pentagon ordered the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, and its Strike Group, to re-deploy from Europe to the Caribbean.
The Carrier Strike Group consists of the Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyers; USS Mahan (DDG-72), USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81), and USS Bainbridge (DDG-96).
Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesman, said on Social Media Platform "X" that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth "has directed the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group and embarked carrier air wing to the U.S. Southern Command" area of responsibility. Southern Command is responsible for the Caribbean Sea, Central and South America and the surrounding waters.
Parnell said the "enhanced U.S. force presence" will "bolster U.S. capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere."
The USS Gerald R. Ford is the Navy's newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, having been commissioned into service in 2017. At more than 1,100 ft. long with a displacement of 100,000 long tons, the carrier is the largest in the world. It's powered by two nuclear reactors and can reach a top speed of 34.5 mph, according to the Pentagon.
The carrier group will join eight U.S. vessels that are already in the region, including three destroyers, one cruiser, a littoral combat ship, an amphibious assault ship and two transport ships.
The Ford is currently in the Mediterranean Sea.
Military Observers, familiar with such deployments, are coming to the conclusion that the redeployment of this vessel from the European theater of operations, indicates to them that an utterly massive strike upon Venezuela is being planned.
