The US Navy-operated aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) arrived in Singapore after sailing from Japan's Yokosuka Air Base, the last stop on the Pacific to Indian Ocean route before entering the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility. With Theodore Roosevelt's arrival in the Middle East, the US Navy in the region will increase to 3 AUGs. Today, the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN-73) and George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) are deployed in theater, as is the Universal Landing Ship (LHD-4). Meanwhile, in the western Pacific, the landing ship Makin Island (LHD-8) and the frigate (LHA-7) located in Sasebo Harbor remained engaged. @poisk mil.
