"USS Gerald R. Ford Exit Coincides with Iran's Red Sea Deployment Amidst Israeli Labor Shifts"

The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, is set to return to its home port in Norfolk, Virginia, despite recent threats from Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. The US Navy has successfully intercepted anti-ship ballistic missiles and drones fired by the Houthis, showcasing advanced defense capabilities amid rising naval threats. The Red Sea remains a high-tension area with international efforts underway to protect commercial shipping from Houthi attacks, which have prompted some ships to alter their routes to avoid the region.
