The USS Gerald R. Ford, the worlds largest aircraft carrier, has arrived in the Caribbean Sea, leading a strike group of nearly a dozen Navy ships and twelve thousand sailors and Marines. This deployment, part of Operation Southern Spear, aims to combat drug smuggling and eliminate narco-terrorists in the region. The Ford, a new class of advanced carriers, has faced delays due to new technology implementation and recently supported Israel during the conflict with Hamas. However, recent U.S. strikes on boats near Venezuela, claimed to be involved in drug trafficking, lack public evidence, raising questions about their legality.
