EXCLUSIVE: Trey Yingst takes inside look at US Navy ship

>> WE HAVE AN UPDATE OUT OF. THE MIDDLE EAST. IRAN SAYS ONE PERSON IS DEAD. AND MULTIPLE OTHERS ARE HURT. HAD AFTER A COMMERCIAL SHIP WAS. STRUCK IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. TREY YINGST JOINS US LIVE FROM. THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON. GOOD MORNING, TREY. >> YEAH, CHARLIE, GOOD MORNING. WE ARE HERE IN THE ARABIAN SEA. WITH U.S. FORCES ABOARD THE USS. GEORGE WASHINGTON AND IT WAS A.

BUSY NIGHT IN THE REASON, A LOT. OF KINETIC ACTIVITY. ANOTHER VESSEL WAS TARGETED BY. IRGC IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. AND THERE ARE REPORTS OF AT. LEAST ONE EXPLOSION NEAR THE. ISLAND AND ABOARD THIS VESSEL. LAST NIGHT THAT IS HELPING TO. ENFORCE THE U.S. NAVAL. BLOCKADE, IT WAS ACTIVE WITH. JETS TAKING OFF ONE AFTER. ANOTHER. HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE AS. WE WERE LIVE ON FOX NEWS.

FIGHTERS JETS STRIKING THE. FLOATING GROUND HERE, JOHN, AS. THE UNITED STATES IS LOOKING TO. PROJECT POWER AGAINST THE. IRANIAN REGIME. THEY CONTINUE THE DAILY. NIGHTTIME OPERATIONS TO ENSURE. THAT THE PILOTS AND SAILORS ARE. READY FOR INCOMING THREAT. WE KNOW THAT IRAN TRIED TO. TARGET THIS VESSEL LAST WEEKEND. AND IT'S A REMINDER FOR THESE. SERVICE MEMBERS FOR THE NEED TO.

STAY ALERT AND PREPARED. >> CHARLIE, THERE ARE A LOT OF. MOVING PARTS HERE. WE SAW JUST AN HOUR AFTER. BOARDING THE VESSEL A FEW DAYS. AGO, THEY SCRAMBLED JETS. RAPIDLY BECAUSE THEY'D. IDENTIFIED A POSSIBLE THREAT. FROM IRAN. FORCES HERE HAVE TO REMAIN ON. ALERT, BUT REMEMBER, IT'S NOT. JUST THIS MASSIVE VESSEL WITH A. FLIGHT DECK MORE THAN THREE. FOOTBALL FIELDS LONG, IT'S A. GROUP OF FOUR TO FIVE. DESTROYERS SURROUNDING THE. AIRCRAFT CARRIER TO ENSURE WHEN. THE IRANIANS TRY TO ATTACK THAT. THEY'RE ABLE TO SHOOT DOWN.

INCOMING FIRE. AND CHARLIE, I WANT TO SHOW YOU. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE. FLIGHT DECK AT THIS MOMENT. IT'S DAYTIME HERE AND THEY'RE. MOVING AROUND A NUMBER OF. AIRCRAFT, IN THE DISTANCE HERE. YOU'LL SEE ONE OF THE. HELICOPTERS ON BOARD. THEY'RE SHIFTING POSITIONS. HERE. THEY'RE MOVING A LOT OF THE. JETS AND MY CAMERAMAN IS GOING. TO PAN TO THE RIGHT HERE, CHARLIE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE. SOME OF THE BOMBS THAT ARE. ACTUALLY BEING ATTACHED TO THE. FIGHTER JETS THAT TAKE OFF FROM. THIS FLIGHT DECK NEARLY ON A. NIGHTLY BASIS. THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE HOW. PREPARED THESE FORCES ARE HERE.

IN THE ARABIAN SEA FOR A. VARIETY OF OUTCOMES AS THE. CONFLICT MOVES FORWARD, CHARLIE. CHARLIE: TRULY INCREDIBLE, AND. INCREDIBLE GLIMPSE BEHIND THE. SCENES IN THE DAYLIGHT. OBVIOUSLY THE U.S. IS DEALING. WITH TWO THINGS IN THE STRAIT. OF HORMUZ. YOU'RE DEALING WITH PERCEIVED. THREAT, THE PERCEPTION OF. THREAT AS WELL AS ACTUAL. THREATS, BOTH CAN BE VERY. PROBLEMATIC IN TERMS OF. NORMALIZING TRADE TRAFFIC. THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

WHICH IS WORSE RIGHT NOW IN. TERMS OF GIVING CONFIDENCE TO. SHIPPERS TO GO THROUGH THE. STRAIT? >> IT'S A LITTLE TOUGH TO HEAR. YOU ON THE FLIGHT DECK, BUT. BROADLY DISCUSSING THE CURRENT. THREATS, GRIFF. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SITUATION. RIGHT NOW, THE IRANIANS CHANGED. THEIR EQUATION AND AS A RESULT. THE UNITED STATES HAS CHANGED. THEIRS. THIS MONTFORT FIRST --. THIS MONTH, FOR THE FIRSRST TIM.

IN MONTHS, THEY'RE LOOKING AT. OPERATIONS IN THE THEATER AND. CHANGED THE DYNAMIC. WE HEARD FROM CENTCOM COMMANDER. BRAD COOPER LAST WEEK AND IF. THE IRANIANS TARGET TWO U.S. VESSELS, THE UNITED STATES WILL. TARGET THREE IRANIAN VESSELS. THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE. IRANIANS WILL KNOW THERE'S A. PRICE TO PAY. AND WHAT WE SEE ON USS GEORGE. WASHINGTON IS TO PREPARE FOR. THE THREAT ENVIRONMENT. IT'S NOT JUST THE POSSIBILITY. OF IRANIAN MISSILE FIRES, BUT. PROTECT THE VESSELS PASSING.

THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, GUYS. CHARLIE: TREY YINGST REPORTING.
