01 · THE DISPATCH

A single source reports that American sailors are conducting night flight operations aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) aircraft carrier as it sails in regional waters. The report does not specify the exact location or the nature of the flights.

As The Zioneer reported on June 23, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) had stated that the carrier was operating in the Arabian Sea alongside a second carrier group, as American forces remained on alert in the Middle East. The current report does not specify whether the carrier has changed position since that time.

The USS George H.W. Bush is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The report is based on a single source and the specific operational context of the night flights has not been independently confirmed.
