The USS Carl Vinson, a United States aircraft carrier, has reached the Middle East and is ready to join the Harry S. Truman strike group and aid the US in its airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported.

The carrier is armed with F-35 stealth warplanes. A video of aircraft taking off from both ships was posted to X.
