U.S. Sends Three Warships Back Into Persian Gulf After Clearing Them Out Earlier This Month.....


A destroyer in the the Lincoln Carrier Strike Group entered the Persian Gulf this week without incidents, after the U.S. Navy cleared its ships out of the Gulf earlier this month amid rising tensions.

Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG-87) passed through the Strait of Hormuz a week after two other U.S. warships —USS McFaul (DDG-74) and USS Gonzalez (DDG-66) – entered the gulf by transiting the choke point that’s typically under steady surveillance by Iranian forces.


Mason did not encounter any unsafe maritime operations by any other force in the area, Navy officials told USNI News on Thursday.


The Navy typically has destroyers on independent deployments and ships from rotational carrier strike groups and amphibious ready groups in the Persian Gulf at any given time. Parts of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group had been operating in the Gulf earlier this month but were sent out through the Strait of Hormuz as tensions with Iran rose.


For nearly a week now, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and its escorts have operated in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, outside the Persian Gulf, according to the USNI News Fleet Tracker. It appears the Navy is now sending ships back in to resume their previous operations.....snip~

Alrighty then....more Destroyers in the Persian Gulf. Plus the Lincoln in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. That will help cut off the Iranians trying to supply weapons to the Houthi in Yemen. Kills 2 birds with one stone.


Naturally the Iranians were still talking $#@!. Which is expected. Afterall they are just like Democrats and the Cult of Leftness. All talk.....all $#@!.
