Aircraft Carrier Nimitz Moves into Red Sea

A U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet prepares to launch from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz on September 3, 2013. As part of the U.S. 5th Fleet, Nimitz has moved into the Red Sea but has not been given orders to be part of the planning on any possible attack on Syria for allegedly using chemical weapons on its citizens.
