what us ships are going to israel

According to multiple sources, the US has deployed several warships to the eastern Mediterranean to support Israel in response to the recent attacks by Hamas. The ships include two aircraft carrier strike groups, the USS Gerald R. Ford and the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, as well as several supporting ships such as guided-missile cruisers and destroyers. The purpose of the deployment is to deter Iran and Iranian proxies, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, from joining the conflict. The ships are not intended to join the fighting in Gaza or take part in Israels operations, but they can support the Israeli military by transferring weapons, conducting intelligence surveys, and communicating early warnings of attacks to Israeli forces. The US and Israel have a history of sharing intelligence and information, and the ships can also help defend Israel from missile attacks from Iran.
