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
