the Persian Gulf on Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023, as part of a wider American deployment in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war. For more than a week, photos have circulated on social media that purport to show the United States Navy's nuclear-powered in port for repairs to damage taken in the Red Sea after being struck by missiles fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
