"MANAMA, Bahrain — The departure of the USS Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group from the Persian Gulf earlier this month leaves an aircraft carrier and a pair of amphibious assault ships and their strike groups in the region.

More than 20 U.S. ships are in the Middle East region with the job of maritime security, supporting troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan and security cooperation missions.

The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise arrived in the Navy’s 5th Fleet’s area of operations in August to take over for the USS Nimitz and USS John S. Stennis carrier groups."

Probably not many. Most people know that all three are street names in LP City.
