Bush strike group sailed on 31 March and has been in the CENTCOM area since late April, part of the two-carrier posture the US has maintained through the end of the Iran war and the negotiations that followed. CENTCOM publicised the Bush operating in the Arabian Sea as recently as 23 June.<\/p>\r\n<p>It has been a hard season for rotary aviation in the region. In early June, an Army AH-64 went down over the Gulf of Oman &mdash; President Trump said Iran shot it down &mdash; and its crew was famously rescued by an unmanned surface vessel. In May, Navy MH-60S crews and Apaches sank six Iranian fast boats. And last October, an MH-60R was lost off USS Nimitz in the South China Sea. The pattern is not one of carelessness; it is what round-the-clock maritime aviation at wartime tempo looks like.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1661080835  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/hsc-5-nightdippers-mh-60s-flight.jpg\" alt=\"HSC-5 Nightdippers MH-60S in flight\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">An HSC-5 &ldquo;Nightdippers&rdquo; MH-60S operating from USS George H.W.
