No U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers Deployed in the Pacific

[Doc7505]

The U.S. trolling the waters off of China is, and always has been, a bad idea.

I find it amusing that we bemoan not having enough personnel to continually exert a false dominance that we no longer even possess. Send your own children and grandchildren to die in another war of U.S. aggression, I think most people have seen enough Iraq's, Afghanistan's and Vietnam's to last a while.

Hmmm...., and where were you throughout these turmoils? No where known to be seen in Khaki, or Camo... nor in the green jungle of Nam or dusty sands of Afghanistan or Iraq.
Neither do we hear your cries about the 100,000 adolescents and teens killed each year by drug overdoses.
Why is that?

And you are an advocate for more Americans to be killed in senseless, useless, destructive wars that only benefits the military industrial complex.

Make sure you push your family members to the front of the draft line. No bone spurs, no excuses. Tell them they are fighting for freedom, or something.

No U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers Deployed in the Pacific​

The deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) from 7th Fleet to 5th Fleet has left the United States with no deployed carriers in the Pacific Ocean, at a time when they are needed most.​

The U.S. Navy is facing a shortfall of deployed carriers in the Pacific as the buildup in the Middle East continues. The lack of carriers has left a critical gap in the West Pacific.
The departure of USS Abraham Lincoln coincides with the change in homeport of USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) from Yokosuka, Japan to Bremerton, Washington. The Ronald Reagan‘s replacement, the USS George Washington (CVN 73) still in San Diego on a scheduled port visit.
The U.S. Navy’s other Pacific-based carriers are in port or in their maintenance availability period. Out of six carriers in the Pacific, the USS Carl Vinson recently participated in RIMPAC 2024, the USS Nimitz recently completed a six month planned incremental availability period for maintenance, the USS Ronald Reagan recently completed a homeport shift to Naval Base Kitsap, and the USS George Washington will remain in San Diego until the crew and equipment swap from USS Ronald Reagan is complete.

Commentary:
Joe’s parting gift to the Chinese.
Taiwan will be conquered in less than one day, if China now chooses.
What's to worry? We now have fewer carriers than we had deployed in the Pacific in December 1941 and nothing bad happened...

Wait they gotta swap crews and equipment?

Like I said, so what? Trump sent them arms, and will do so again, so your fantasies aren't going to come true. Your Jane Fonda fetish will go away soon. You morons will of course start babbling some other spin as soon as you're told to. Keep tossing out the strawmen nonsense if it makes you feel better.

You ain't real bright - arya?

The typical and long ago boring cry of one who refuses to put themselves into danger for the sake of others.

Of course, they also seem to be completely unable to comprehend what it is that makes myself and others serve.

China is planning an attack on us... they are flying drones over our bases... and they are spying on us... and our government seems to be okay with it...
Just yesterday a Chinese national was arrested by military police for taking pictures from a drone of our space force base in CA....
Better get ready this is not a drill...
And there are drones all over the eastern seaboard over some of our most sensitive bases...
And now Biden removes our carriers from Asia??? why???

John Bolton was absolutely right that Rambunctious was even more useless for national security issues than Gabbard.

The U.S. trolling the waters off of China is, and always has been, a bad idea.

Actually, there is a damned good reason why that is done. The same reason that we have come into conflict multiple times with Iran, and with Libya in the past.

The term for them is "Freedom of Navigation Operations". Many times, different nations will try to claim that certain waters off their coast are closed and off-limits to ships other than their own. And in cases where those claims are not valid under International Law, you will have nations like the US challenge them periodically by purposefully passing through them.

This is actually a very old custom, but is actually confirmed under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and guarantees "Freedom of Navigation". And two of the cases where nations are claiming International Waters as their own and trying to prohibit the passage of the ships of other nations is China in the South China Sea, and Iran at the Strait of Hormuz. So the US passing through them not only affirms that the claims of it being territorial waters is not valid, but are proving that is the case.

Otherwise, Iran would literally cut off all traffic to and from the Persian Gulf, and China would cut off most water passage to Vietnam, Philippines, and Taiwan.

So, do you honestly think it is a better idea that we allow China to cut off International traffic and trade?

You were talking about Chinese expansion. Now you have changed the subject since you lost the last one.

Go back and read the thread again. Your senility is showing. I've never lost anything, especially to your confused rubbish.
