White also told Marine Corps Times that the group was given orders to return to their ships 'to prepare for further tasking as a result of emerging events.' The spokesperson said the crew is now near Bahrain, though she would not say where they were heading out of concerns for operational safety. White’s statements did not confirm if the 'emerging events' were a reference to the attacks in Israel and Gaza, the publication noted. On Tuesday, the USS Gerald R.
Amphibious assault ship USS Bataan and dock landing ship USS Carter Hall entered the Red Sea after transiting from the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal.
