The
US will deploy the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier for a mission
to the Middle East and Europe on Wednesday, according to the US Navy.
The
aircraft carrier will set sail with seven attack ships and will carry
6,500 sailors. It will travel alongside the German frigate FGS
Hessen during the first part of its journey.
The
USS Harry S. Truman will replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt Strike
Group, which recently completed a four-month deployment to the Middle
East.
More military options for Syria deploying to Med: USS Harry Truman strike group sets sail Wednesday from Norfolk along with seven warships each armed with dozens of cruise missiles. Truman launched jets to strike ISIS from Med in 2016.

The
guided-missile destroyer the USS ‘Donald Cook’ has also left
Cyprus and is moving into the eastern Mediterranean, according to
earlier reports. The Arleigh Burke-class warship carries 60 Tomahawk
cruise missiles on board.
The
military maneuvers come as the White House has threatened military
action against Syria for an alleged chemical attack in the Syrian
city of Douma. US President Donald Trump has said he is meeting with
advisers and deciding on a response to the incident.
“We
have a lot of options militarily, and we’ll be letting you know
pretty soon,” Trump told reporters on Monday.
The
Russian military, which investigated the site of the alleged chemical
attack, said, however, that “no traces” of chemical weapons could
be found.
