Looks like there are indications USS Ford may be pulling out to sea, there are OSINT indicators of tugs showing up alongside.
That is a short visit and may indicative of an order to go into position. May shorten timeframe for operations. Super fluid and things change by the day.

OVRLD01 MQ-4C 169804 is operating in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. But, wait - wasn't 169804 in the Gulf of Mexico just yesterday? Thinking that the MQ-4C in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday might have been a case of mistaken identity.

BLKCAT5 MQ-4C is extremely interested in southern Mexico. Interesting 🤔
US Navy MQ-4C, BLKCAT5, 169804 out of Jacksonville is operating in the Gulf of Mexico off the Yucatan peninsula. As of 16 days ago 169804 was still operating in the Persian Gulf. This is the first time I've seen a MQ-4C operating in the Gulf of Mexico.
