USS Ford Moves Closer to Israel - Next-Gen Carrier Power in Mediterranean. Ordered by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, this rapid redeployment highlights the U.S. goal of global readiness for swift military action.

The Ford-class carriers represent a groundbreaking advancement in naval warfare technology. These carriers, roughly 100,000 tons, are notably larger than their Nimitz-class forerunners but need 500 to 900 fewer crew members due to enhanced automation, thereby cutting maintenance demands by 30%. Crafted for superior efficiency and combat effectiveness, they boast an impressive sortie rate of 160 per day, which can escalate to 220 in critical times, and come equipped with sophisticated weaponry. Notably, they can carry up to 90 aircraft, including cutting-edge F-35 Joint Strike Fighters and F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, significantly boosting U.S. air capabilities in the region. The F-35s augment the strike group's air-to-air and ground-attack mission capabilities, offering a notable tactical edge.
