USS Nimitz carrier strike group sailing toward Middle East ahead of schedule, US official says

The USS Nimitz carrier strike group is on its way to the Middle East from the South China Sea, a U.S. official told Fox News. 

The Nimitz strike group was previously scheduled to replace the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group, which has been deployed for several months, but is now heading to the Middle East ahead of schedule. The two will now be in the Middle East at the same time. 

USS Carl Vinson was the only aircraft carrier in the region as of last Friday, U.S. defense officials told Fox News.
