The USS Abraham Lincoln, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, is departing the Red Sea after facing missile and drone attacks from Houthi forces. This marks only the second time in over a year that the US 7th Fleet will operate without a carrier in the region.

The Abraham Lincoln’s departure comes amid heightened tensions in West Asia, with ongoing attacks and counterattacks between US forces and Houthi fighters. The situation reflects the ongoing volatility in the region
