It’s the Harry S. Truman group on a six month deployment to relieve the Eisenhower which has been in the Gulf region since January. Incidentally, the Eisenhower also passed through the Suez Canal on its way to the Gulf back in Jan, so this type of event isn’t that unusual.

Interesting, if true, that an Israeli ship was also with the group, they are probably going to do some joint training.

The Suez Canal is wider than I thought. Or aircraft carriers are narrower.

It isn’t that unusual at all, you’re right. But since the original high “woo-woo” report came from Haaretz news it is useful to the Iraelis to keep the Iranians on edge.
