US is Deploying Aircraft Carriers With Dozens of F-18 Fighter Jets to Europe The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group (GRFCSG), the first aircraft carrier in its class USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), departed from Naval Station Norfolk, United States. The deployment of aircraft carriers loaded with dozens of F-18 fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft and other modern fighter jets to Europe is a major US operation in the Nato region in the midst of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This deployment is the US response in securing its allies in the European region from the threat of Russia's unprovoked operations against Ukraine which is a Nato ally. The aircraft carrier USS Gerald will also conduct operations with Allied and NATO partners to enhance integration for future operations and demonstrate the US Navy's commitment to a peaceful, stable, and conflict-free Europe. Several F-18 fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft took off from the deck of the ship on a special mission over Europe. In this deployment, the US is showing its readiness for any worst thing that will be done by the enemy against its allies.
