The U.S. Navy stated on Saturday a nuclear-powered guided-missile submarine was working within the Middle East in help of the Bahrain-based U.S. Fifth Fleet.
The USS Florida entered the area on Thursday and commenced transiting the Suez Canal, Commander Timothy Hawkins stated in a press release.
“It is capable of carrying up to 154 Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles and is deployed to U.S. 5th Fleet to help ensure regional maritime security and stability,” Hawkins stated.
