Axios reporter Barak Ravid wrote, citing a US official, that the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt will be in Singapore for a stopover of several days from Friday and will not arrive in the area of responsibility of the US Central Command, CENTCOM, before mid-November (November 15). Fox News wrote on October 20 that Theodore Roosevelt's attack fleet along with the 13th Expeditionary Unit of the US Marines left for the Middle East.
With the arrival of this ship, the number of American aircraft carriers in the region will reach three and the number of troops added to the region will reach 10,000 sailors and marines.
