US Aircraft George Bush off Syrian Coast

The US navy has deployed its newest and mightiest aircraft led by the carrier USS George H W Bush off the Syrian coast amid mounting speculations of a Washington-led military invasion against the Arab nation.

A US naval task force, parked off just outside Syria's territorial waters, just after the US embassy in Damascus urged Americans to “immediately” leave the country, the Daily Caller news website reported on Wednesday.

Media reports also indicated that US ambassador to Damascus Robert Ford, recalled from Syria in October due the mounting anti-US sentiment in the country, will not return later this month as planned.
The CVN 77, better known as the George H.W. Bush, is capable of carrying up to 70 aircraft, including 48 fighter jets.

Washington has not explained the purpose of the carrier's deployment to the Syrian coast.
