The Dwight D. Eisenhower, a prominent aircraft carrier, has recently transitioned from the Middle Eastern waters of the U.S. Central Command, where it has been stationed to the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower, also known as the “Ike” aircraft carrier, has recently transitioned from the Middle Eastern waters of U.S. Central Command to the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This move came after the carrier and its strike group, including the F/A-18E Super Hornet, had operated in the Middle East since November.
The F/A-18E Super Hornet, attached to the Ike, is the U.S. Navy’s primary strike and air superiority aircraft with a 20 percent larger airframe, 7,000 lb heavier empty weight, and 15,000 lb heavier maximum weight than the original Hornet. The Super Hornet has recently been enhanced with a significant capability upgrade, making it the first carrier-based aircraft to deploy the SDB-II, also known as the StormBreaker.
