US Aircraft Carrier George H.W. Bush Visits Thailand After Six-Month Middle East Deployment
The US aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush arrived off Phuket, Thailand, on October 4, providing nearly 4,800 personnel a rest break after six months supporting US operations in the Middle East under Operation Epic Fury. The carrier anchored offshore, with crew participating in cultural and recreational activities, including a US-Thailand soccer match, through October 9. This visit follows a recent stop by the US carrier Abraham Lincoln in eastern Thailand. The port calls aim to strengthen US-Thailand ties and offer respite to service members.
