Rare announcement reveals Ohio-class submarine’s deployment to US Central Command
The U.S. military revealed Sunday that an Ohio-class submarine has deployed to U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility, which stretches from Northeast Africa across the Middle East to Central and South Asia.
It’s rare for the Defense Department to publicize the movements of its nuclear-capable submarines. The short announcement, made via X, formerly known as Twitter, provided few details, including the name of the vessel or whether it is carrying ballistic or cruise missiles.
The message comes two days after the Navy announced that two aircraft carrier strike groups — the Gerald R. Ford and Dwight D. Eisenhower — launched aircraft and practiced missile defense during a three-day exercise in the Mediterranean Sea.
