Associated PressJUN 2024
The US is sending a guided missile submarine to the Middle East, as well as speeding up the travel of an aircraft carrier already en route, in preparation for potential attacks on Israel from Iran and Hezbollah in response to the killings of their military leaders.
The submarine, the USS Georgia, carries up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles — which are used to strike land targets — while the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier is carrying about 60 fighter jets, including F-35Cs.
According to the US Navy, the USS Georgia, which can carry up to 66 soldiers, was being used by Marines and special forces beginning July 17 to conduct dive training in the Mediterranean. It was then reportedly seen off the coast of a Greek island Aug. 5.
