Per Google Search, Looks like we went there and came back, no proof I can find definitive of strikes from said carrier in said area.

@AviSchwartz An F-16, mostly likely from that carrier, struck Iranian assets in Syria. Is that enough for a YES?

@Shump I think not, since the Iranians are proxies and have not directly engaged with Israel in this conflict. What do you think?

@AviSchwartz Seems reasonable

@Shump But maybe clarify that it's an adversary in the current war, not an enemy of Israel in the general sense.

@Shump An f16 has never taken off from or landed on a carrier.

@HastingsGreer Oh really? I didn't know. Where did that plane come from then?

@Shump I have no idea, but definitely from an airfield

The thing is the U.S. government doesn't really have the strength for two proxy wars happening at the same time. The aircraft carrier is just a bluff to other Saudi Arabia coutries.

Suppose Tomahawks are launched from a Frigate in the battle group? Is that a strike by the carrier?

@CivilizedGuy Yes

Would participation in a strike from carrier group count or do air assets have to fire weapons? E.g participation in a hostage rescue situation with carrier the operational hq.

@WesleyJB From carrier also counts
