The USS John C. Stennis will spend Christmas in the Persian Gulf after the carrier strike group sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, arriving during a time of increased threats from Iran and ending an eight-month carrier absence in the region.
The long absence of a U.S. carrier in the Gulf broke the regular flow of carriers to the region since 9/11 and could be the new norm under outgoing Defense Secretary Jim Mattis' dynamic force employment policy, meant to show more unpredictability to U.S. adversaries.
“We’re switching it up because our adversaries are watching closely,” said 5th Fleet spokeswoman Lt. Chloe Morgan, according to The Associated Press. “We want to be operationally unpredictable to our enemies, but strategically predictable to our partners."
Lt. Cmdr. Jessica Anderson, a USS Stennis spokeswoman, told Stars and Stripes that the carrier group plans to operate in the Gulf throughout the holidays and celebrate with holiday meals, religious services and individual celebrations.
