Ship with US marine enroute to Malacca Strait
The USS 'Tripoli', believed to be carrying Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, based in Okinawa, and sailors to the Middle East, was nearing the Malacca Strait off Singapore. The amphibious assault ship had left Okinawa on March 11, 2026, and was heading toward the region. It can operate F-35 stealth fighter jets and MV-22 Osprey aircraft and also carries landing craft that allows troops and equipment to move from sea to shore. The vessel usually leads an amphibious ready group, which often includes USS 'New Orleans' and USS 'San Diego', although their presence alongside Tripoli has not been confirmed. The ship was moving at about 22 knots as it approached Singapore.
