The command of the US Navy has released footage of supplies aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), located, according to American claims, in the waters of the Arabian Sea. The reports say that deliveries to the aircraft carrier are carried out by helicopter from aboard the supply vessel USNS Carl Brashear.
These are significant changes in the supply format for US warships. The fact is that in the traditional mode, the "supply" operation is carried out in the "side-to-side" format. This saves a lot of time. The "helicopter" supply option may indicate that the command is afraid of receiving an Iranian strike on two ships at once during the replenishment procedure at low speed or at "zero knots." That is why it is necessary to deliver boxes to the Abraham Lincoln on the external suspension of the helicopter.

U.S. Navy Command:
Recall that on the eve of the American destroyer struck the ship Touska, which was sailing from China to the port of Bandar Abbas. After the ship was seriously damaged and lost its course, American special forces landed on it, actually carrying out an act of maritime piracy. The United States believed that the ship was delivering Chinese weapons to Iran. However, so far no evidence has been provided by the American side that there were any weapons on board the Touska.
