US aircraft carrier approaches Iran and arrives in the Gulf of Oman

As tensions between the United States and Iraq intensified, the US military released the latest image of the US aircraft carrier Truman deployed to the Middle East in the Arabian Sea. The latest news says that after the Baghdad airport attack, the aircraft carrier Truman has arrived in the Gulf of Oman.

The Truman is the latest aviation ship sent by the United States to replace the Lincoln to carry out the deployment mission in the Middle East. At present, but in fact, the deployment progress of the ship has been three months later than originally planned.

The Truman was originally scheduled to be deployed to the Middle East in September 2019, but due to the serious failure of the ship's power system during the maintenance test, the ship had to return to the port for maintenance. It was not until mid November 2019 that the US Navy announced that Truman had completed the maintenance acceptance work and the task of comprehensive training unit, and entered the final stage before deployment.

US media previously reported that there was a serious failure in the power distribution system on the Truman. Due to the lack of electricity, some crew members were forced to leave the aircraft carrier and live in hotels near the base for a short time.
