The American aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) is operating in the Arab Sea following a port visit to Thailand, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced. Approximately 5,000 crew members and associated personnel aboard the carrier are continuing to support the command's operations in the Middle East as part of a scheduled deployment. The carrier's return to the region follows its arrival in Phuket, Thailand, on October 4, accompanied by the guided-missile destroyer USS Delbert D. Black. According to the U.S. Navy, this was the strike group's first port call since departing the United States in March. The visit was intended to allow the crews rest and to conduct engagements with Thai civilian and military officials. The Navy had stated prior to the visit that the strike group had supported Operation Epic Fury and the U.S. maritime blockade within CENTCOM's area of responsibility in the six months preceding it. The George H.W. Bush, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, serves as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 10. The Navy indicated that the group includes the nine-squadron Air Wing 7, as well as guided-missile destroyers such as the USS Mason, USS Ross, and USS Donald Cook.
