Ahead of upcoming nuclear discussions with Iran, the U.S. Navy deployed the USS Carl Vinson and its accompanying vessels to the Arabian Sea. As of Monday, April 14, satellite images showed the Vinson operating near Yemen, alongside the Ticonderoga-class USS Princeton and two Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, the USS Sterett, and USS William P. Lawrence. This deployment supplements the USS Harry S. Truman, which has been active in air operations targeting Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since March.
