U.S. Aircraft Carrier Stennis Returning to the Middle East
(Kitsap Sun-Washington) Ed Friedrich - The Bremerton, Washington-based aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis is returning to the Middle East much sooner than expected. The ship came home to Naval Base Kitsap on March 2 after seven months of launching planes into Iraq and Afghanistan. But with Iran making threats, crew members learned Saturday they'll be leaving again in late August for eight months. Two U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups - USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Enterprise - are now in the Middle East.
