Western media recently rendered it.This is equivalent to half of the 11 aircraft carriers in the United States.Its just that the reality is too fast: this only a few days later. In fact, there are only one "Roosevelt" that are currently active in China.

Lets briefly review the saying for a long time in the Western public opinion field a few days ago: US "News Weekly", India "The Eurasian Times and other rendered states that nearly half of the aircraft carriers in the United States this year were deployed in the Western Pacific to send signals that deterred China and North Korea.Specifically, this is the case: not long ago, there were three US aircraft carriers around China- "Carl Vinson", "Roosevelt" and "Reagan".Pacific, the "Washington" will also arrive in Japan later this year.
It is reported that the three U.S. aircraft carriers have been operating in the Western Pacific and two are about to arrive."Their arrival will marked that five aircraft carriers in the United States will perform their tasks at the same time in the area for the first time."
"These deployments marked the first 5 U.S. aircraft carriers in modern history to perform tasks in the Western Pacific, showing the strength of the United States."
" Nearly half of the U.S. carrier roared unprecedentedly in China, surpassing the three carrier of the previous record. "The relevant deployment aims to show that the United States has focused on the Indo -Pacific region, "even in Europe and the Middle East."Barton emphasized: "Even if the bilateral relations (USA) bilateral relations are heating up, deterrence of China in the region is still the primary of the United States."It seems that "5 aircraft carriers deterred China" can really scare the Chinese.The old driver has previously analyzed that the relevant reports are just a gimmick that deliberately created: the "Lincoln" and "Washington" aircraft carrier planned to the Western Pacific is just the "Carl Vinson" that has been deployed in the sea for a long time.And the "Reagan", and they are almost impossible to appear on the Western Pacific at the same time.
But what I didnt expect was that the news of the face of the Western media was faster than the old driver.The latest dynamic of the US aircraft carrier released on the 22nd of the "South China Sea Strategic Scenic Personnel" platform shows that only the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier is currently maintained in the Western Pacific -two less than two aircraft carriers before the West, and rumors have set off.The "Lincoln" aircraft carrier who went to the Western Pacific even turned around and went back!
The latest information shows that the carrier "Karl Vinson" has left Pearl Harbor on February 19, or will end the Western Pacific deployment and return to the United States; the "Reagan" aircraft carrierIt is also maintained in Yokosuka Harbor, Japan, and it is impossible to dispatch in the short term. It is rumored that the "Lincoln" carrier who left Hong Kong to the Pacific on February 5 actually returned to San Diego, the mother port on February 16.
"Roosevelt" is the only aircraft carrier in the Western Pacific in the Western Pacific
According to satellite remote sensing images, the" Roosevelt "aircraft carrier was activity in the Philippines on the 21st.The "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier left Guam on February 14 and moved in the northern waters of the north of Guam on the 19th.Earlier, the "Roosevelt" entered the Western Pacific in January to start this round of overseas deployment. It is expected that they can also patrol in the Western Pacific region for several months. Therefore, it is also the only aircraft carrier in the Western Pacific in the Western Pacific.Oh, the reality of the American aircraft carrier is not so powerful, it is not that some Western media can change a few words ...
previous reports:
Many foreign media have recently announced that at least 5 American aircraft carriers this yearIt will be deployed in the Western Pacific Ocean for "deterring China".The old driver remembered that recently, foreign media have also made noise "the three major American aircraft carrier strike groups gathered around China." As a result, it was proven to be a farce. How can it be an upgraded version now?
Foreign media claim that at least 5 U.S. carriers will be deployed in the Western Pacific this year for"Fighting China"
US "News Weekly" stated that the statistics of the US Naval Society website show that on February 5, the "Lincoln" aircraft carrier strike group from San Diego sailing from the mother port sailing to sail to sailing towards the mother port.Pacific; at the same time, the "Carl Vinson" and "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier has been active in the Western Pacific region; the "Reagan" carrier deployed in Japan for a long time is waiting for the "Washington" aircraft carrier from the local area.With this calculation, there are 5 aircraft carriers!
U.S. media advocated that this is a display of the US Navys power. Five aircraft carriers deployed in the Western Pacific are equivalent to half of all 11 nuclear -powered super carrier in the United States. "This is this is"Clear signal to Beijing".The report also claims that each of the US super carrier can be equipped with about 90 fighter jets. Their deployment direction is "signal to allies and opponents", indicating that Washington is determined to strengthen the existence of the region."East China Sea and South China Sea and Taiwans hotspots may cause widespread conflict."
The Russian News Agency also issued a similar warning
A similar warning also said that the five aircraft carriers in the United States would gather unprecedentedly in the Western Pacific, "deterrent China as the primary business."It is reported that as of February 5, the "Lincoln" aircraft carrier of the Pacific Fleet was found to leave the Pacific Ocean from San Diego Mother Port, California.The "Washington" deployed to Japan from 2008 to 2015 will also be deployed in the Western Pacific in the next few months to replace the "Reagan".At that time, the latter will leave the Japanese Yokosuka base and drive to the United States shipyard for maintenance.It is reported that these deployments marked the first 11 of the 11 aircraft carrier formations in the recent history to perform tasks in the Western Pacific.Hong Kongs "South China Morning Post" quoted the analysis of the associate professor of the University of Malaysia in the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, saying that the relevant deployment of the U.S. Navy aims to show that the United States has focused on the Indo -Pacific region, "even in Europe and the Middle East."Barton emphasized: "Even if the bilateral relations (USA) bilateral relations are heating up, deterrence of China in the region is still the first priority of the United States."At present, the "Karl Vinson" aircraft carrier is located in Hawaii. The "Roosevelt" is in Guam
Just looking at these foreign media reports, the U.S. Navy can be described as aggressive, but if you analyze the source of information in detail,You can see that the loopholes are full of vulnerabilities.The old driver consulted the latest report on the website of the US Navy Society.First of all, the current location of the "Karl Vinson" aircraft carrier is in Hawaii waters, and the Roosevelt is located near Guam. Compared with the exercise location in the Philippines at the end of January, they are farther from China.The "Karl Vinson" started this round of deployment from the San Diego Naval Base in the West Coast of the United States in mid -October 2023. During this period, it took multiple high -intensity drills with a very strong targetedness.In the middle and late stages.On February 1, the carrier of "Karl Vinson" just ended a joint exercise in the Philippines. From the perspective of the head, it is likely to leave the Western Pacific Ocean to return home to rest soon.
On February 5th, the "Lincoln" and "Karl Vinson" aircraft carrier who left Hong Kong belonged to the U.S. Navys third fleet.However, with the pressure of the Seventh Fleet in the U.S. Navy in recent years, the pentagonal building has also become the norm.The old driver believes that the "Lincoln", who had just ended the training cycle not long ago, was out of Hong Kong. If it was really a practical deployment, it was likely that it would be the "Karl Vinson" and continued to perform combat patrols in the Western Pacific.
Currently "Reagan" is in the "lying" stage
The "Reagan" aircraft carrier is in the stage of "lying down", and it has not existed in Hong Kong for many months.According to the plan, it will be transferred to the Washington "Washington" that has also completed the same overhaul and training later this year. At that time, the "Reagan" will be returned to the American native shipyard for maintenance.
It can be found that the "Karl Vinson" and "Lincoln" may indeed appear on the Western Pacific in the future, but the two parties are just simple task transfer.This dual aircraft carrier formation has only symbolic deterrent effects; the "Reagan" and "Washington" are the same.In recent years, similar scenes have not been uncommon. The U.S. Navy has also showed several two aircraft carriers or three aircraft carrier formations around China.And from the planning timetable of these aircraft carriers to the Western Pacific Ocean, the probability of "5 U.S. aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific" rendered by foreign media was almost zero.
2022 "Carl Vinson" and "Lincoln" aircraft carrier also took photos in the Philippines, but then "Carl ·The Vincent "" Back to the native repairs
Further say, it can be seen from a set of data provided by the U.S. Navy Society website.How difficult is the aircraft carrier -currently only 104 of the 292 main warships owned by the US Navy are in deployment, which is roughly equivalent to the level of 1/3.Even if the US aircraft carrier attendance rate is far lower than other ships due to poor maintenance. With the actual deployment status of the US Navy ship, I want to make up 5 aircraft carriers to deter China in the Western Pacific.The schedule is crazy -the statistics of the US Navy Times show that only the US Navy has deployed 4 aircraft carriers at the same time overseas in 2012 and 2016.Its not clear when it is. "
As for the United States Navys expectation to take a group photo of these short -sized multi -aircraft carrier formations, "deterrent China", that really thought too much -when did the PLA have eaten this set?
