The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford is returning to port for repairs after a fire broke out in its laundry section, injuring at least two sailors. According to Bloomberg, citing U.S. officials, the nuclear-powered carrier is being moved from the Red Sea to Souda Bay in Greece for maintenance. The incident occurred as tensions between the United States and Iran remain high.
The report added that the U.S. Navy spokesperson did not disclose details about the extent of the damage or the current positions of the guided missile destroyers accompanying the carrier. However, one official confirmed that other ships in the Ford Strike Group will continue their operations in the Red Sea. The fire took more than 30 hours to bring under control.
The USS Gerald R. Ford, weighing nearly 100,000 tons and carrying over 4,000 sailors, had previously stopped at Souda Bay before heading to the Red Sea in late February.
