US Navy doesn't have any ships or aircraft based in the med, last I knew of, so any 6th fleet assets (Mediterranean Sea is 6th Fleet) are going to come from stateside. Notable US Navy bases in the med are NSA Naples in Italy, NSA Souda Bay on the island of Crete, and NAS Sigonella on Sicaly, which has P-3 or P-8 squadrons "deployed" (its a tough gig lol) there off and on.
I don't expect any of our ships are going to do anything there, this is just a positioning exercise, and showing the flag, as it were.
