Two US aircraft carriers and destroyer depart Middle East: Fox News

Two US aircraft carriers and a guided-missile destroyer have left the Middle East after months of deployment, leaving the USS George Washington as the only American carrier currently in the region, according to Fox News.

The network reported on Tuesday evening that the USS George H.W. Bush, which had been deployed in the Middle East since April, and the guided-missile destroyer USS Delbert D. Black, stationed in the region since the beginning of the year, have both arrived in Thailand as part of port visits.

Fox News noted that the number of US military vessels currently in the Middle East stands at around 17, slightly fewer than before the conflict with Iran began eight months ago.

The USS George Washington arrived in the Middle East in August, replacing the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is scheduled to return to its home port in San Diego.

According to the network, the USS George H.W. Bush is expected to return to the Middle East in the coming weeks.
