USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69)

USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), nicknamed "Ike", is the second of 10 Nimitz-class supercarriers in the United States Navy, named after the thirty-fourth President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Originally, she was named Eisenhower, much like her sister, Nimitz. On May 25, 1970, the name was lengthened to Dwight D. Eisenhower. On commissioning, Ike replaced the aged World War II-era carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt in the fleet.

As of June 2024, the USS Eisenhower is stationed in the Red Sea. Houthi forces have claimed to have launched multiple successful strikes directly against the carrier and other U.S. vessels. The U.S. has denied these claims.
