As I predicted before, USS Eisenhower #CVN69 entered #USNavy 6th Fleet AOR. I guess she will perform some exercise with allies in the Mediterranean like 
aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle who was recently joined by 
FGS Lubeck & 
HDMS Niels Juel. https://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=112183

This Growler is equipped with 2 ALQ-99 high band, 1 ALQ-99 low band, & 2 ALQ-218 electronic warfare pods.

USS Harry S. Truman #CVN75 has moved to the Red sea (Possibly leaving the Middle East & @US5thFleet AOR).
An unarmed F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the #VFA136 Squadron launches off the flight deck of the @USSHARRYSTRUMAN in the Red Sea on March 30, 2020.

USS Harry S. Truman #CVN75 which had moved west to the Red sea early this week, is now planned to go to far east in the @USPacificFleet to replace the USS Roosevelt #CVN71 which is temporarily out of service in Guam due to #COVID19 virus spread. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/01/aircraft-carrier-leaving-middle-east-159327
The reports on redeployment of USS Truman #CVN75 to PACOM AOR to replace USS Roosevelt #CVN71 were wrong and as I predicted 2 tweets back, Truman left @US5thFleet and entered the Mediterranean sea. USS Bataan #LHD5 also returned back to the Persian gulf. https://news.usni.org/2020/04/03/uss-bataan-enters-persian-gulf-carrier-truman-now-in-the-mediterranean
