The crew of the U.S. aircraft carrier “USS George Washington” are preparing on Friday, September 11, as the carrier deploys for a mission to fight the Islamic Republic. According to reports, the carrier has been sent to replace “USS Abraham Lincoln”; a ship that, after 286 days at sea, left the Middle East amid reports about concerns regarding the mental health of the crew and worsening conditions aboard the carrier. Both carriers have been deployed to strengthen the U.S. maritime blockade and to fight the Islamic Republic.
