It will join other American forces in the region:

The USS Ford, a prominent 1,100-foot nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States, is anticipated to be deployed to Europe by next week, according to CNN’s senior national reporter Zachary Cohen. This move will place the Ford as the third US aircraft carrier group positioned in this region.

The USS Ford will be joining the USS Carl Vinson, currently stationed in the Persian Gulf, and the USS Nimitz, which the United States recently announced as heading from Southeast Asia earlier in the week.

It’s quite the ship:

Although its construction encountered difficulties and delays, it was finally finished in 2017 and is now a high-tech, huge warship:

The USS Gerald R. Ford is the US Navy’s newest and largest aircraft carrier — in fact, it’s the world’s largest.

Commissioned in July 2017, it is the first of the Ford-class carriers, which are more technologically advanced than Nimitz-class carriers.

This carrier features an enhanced hull design, improved weapons storage, a new weapons elevator, an expanded flight deck, an electromagnetic aircraft launch system, and triple the electrical generation capacity compared to any previous carrier, among other advancements.
