Was there an intentional pun there?

CSG:
1 CVN with Airwing
1 AOE
1 to 2 CGs (Tico Class)
2 to 3 DDGs (Burkes)
1 to 2 FFGs (OHP Class)
1 to 2 SSNs or SSGNs

Give or take a ship in each class and you get 11 warships. If I was Iran I would be worried if there were more because that would mean an ESG was riding shotgun.

EDIT: I think they are making something out of nothing, US CSGs transit the Suez all the time. Maybe they just wanted all the ships going though at once rather than in one big group (The flattop) and a few single ship transits.

It's a relief deployment. They are relieving another carrier battle group! This is typical every six to 12 months.
