The USS Gettysburg (CG-64), a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, the same one which accidentally downed an F/A-18F Super Hornet in a blue-on-blue incident last December during operations against the Houthis in Yemen, has arrived in the Southern Caribbean, on an unscheduled deployment as part of the naval task force assigned to counter narco-terrorist operations under U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). The Gettysburg joins the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, along with several Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers and at least one additional Ticonderoga-class cruiser currently in the region, who will be joined in the near future by the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and the rest of Carrier Strike Group Twelve (CSG-12).
