More than 5,000 sailors are on board as the floating city heads toward the Middle East to aid Israel in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and its strike group are en route to the Middle East as the Israel-Hamas war continues. Scripps News Cincinnati's Craig McKee met with the ship’s new commanding officer during a visit to the ship out in the Atlantic Ocean earlier this year.This will be the first deployment after taking the helm.
During McKee's visit to the ship, he ran into Indiana native Bryson Torbeck, who spends his days on the high-intensity flight deck as a crash and salvage crewman — a job he says is critical to operations.Ohio native Desiree Munguia is one of the ship’s quartermasters and will be the eyes of the ship using the VLS system and will help the Eisenhower navigate what’s ahead.
“If we were ever to be attacked, or if there's any sort of bad situation like that, I can trust the person defending the ship because it's me," Daye said."I get to trust my own judgment and my own abilities." In a news release, the Carrier Strike Group 2 said the mission of the Eisenhower is to"engage with allies and partners in support of maritime statecraft, which encompasses naval diplomacy and national efforts to build comprehensive U.S. and allied maritime power.”This story was originally published by Craig McKee at Scripps News Cincinnati.
