LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy said it had begun a series of exercises in the Gulf and wider Gulf waters on Friday involving a U.S aircraft carrier and two expeditionary assault ships.

In a statement the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquartered in Bahrain said it had begun a five-day crisis response exercise involving amphibious, air and medical forces in the Gulf.

It also said the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and its strike group and another expeditionary strike group had begun training in wider Gulf waters.

"Multiple strike groups are capable of executing a broad range of operations," the U.S. Navy statement said.
