In light of the probable upcoming military strike on Syria, I will be posting updates on ship deployments and news from the Syrian Theater of Operations from time to time on the blog. All information I share will be open-source intelligence collected from publicly available sources.
Carrier Strike Group Eleven is currently commanded by Rear Admiral Michael S. White, a veteran of more than 1,000 carrier arrested landings during his career.
Carrier Strike Group Eleven (the one that the USS Nimitz leads) has indefinitely cancelled it's upcoming scheduled return to homeport due to possible combat operations in support of a strike on Syria.
The ships of the strike group are currently in the Red Sea.
Please keep these men and women in your thoughts and prayers.
