The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, a force of six warships headed by the U.S. Navy’s largest and most advanced nuclear aircraft carrier, arrived in the eastern Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday as part of the U.S. response to the attack by Hamas on Israel.
Why is the strike group there and what can it do?
"As laid out by the Secretary of Defense, their guidance is make sure that there's no escalation around Israel," says Peter Daly, retired U.S. Navy vice admiral and CEO of the U.S. Naval Institute.
"Their mission, as stated by the DOD, is to not let the neighbors join the party."

I sure they take out any entity that tries to take advantage!!! Hamas's attack at the behest of Iran is deplorable and that is being kind when it's not warranted based on their committing atrocities on babies, children & other innocents!!! Hamas & Hezbula need to be eradicated from the face of the Earth based on what they have done, imho!
