The aircraft carrier is the symbol of the power of the US Navy today, so where the US aircraft carrier appears and where is the focus of the United States.The Global Times quoted the US "National Interest" website on February 20 and reported that "the United States will deploy 5 of all 11 aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific Ocean to show China." You know, 1991During the Gulf War, the United States also deployed six aircraft carriers in the surrounding Iraqi. Now the U.S. military has to deploy half of the aircraft carriers to the Asia -Pacific region. It can be said that since the Gulf War, the United States has gathered in the Asia -Pacific region.
According to US media reports, the current U.S. military has a total of 3 aircraft carriers in Asia Pacific, namely: "Ronald Reagan".The "Karl Vinson" and "Edor Roosevelt". At the same time, the "Lincoln" aircraft carrier has just launched from the West Coast of the United States to the East Asian waters, and the U.S. "Washington" will also rush to the Western Pacific to deploy to deployEssenceTherefore, strictly speaking, there are currently only three aircraft carriers in the entire Western Pacific waters. Only after the "Washington" arrives, the total number of US aircraft carriers can reach 5.However, the "Washington" is transferred to the "Reagan". Because the "Reagan" needs to return to the US home port for routine maintenance and overhaul, the "Washington" is required to "change the post".
(Generally, the U.S. military uses a single aircraft carrier battle group activity, which usually uses double aircraft carrier, and even three aircraft carrier battle group activities.)
So strictly speaking, the U.S. military deployed in the Western Pacific waters, and there are only 4 aircraft carriers in the state of war reserve.However, it should be pointed out that there are 11 large amphibious attack ships in the United States. These vessels can carry more than 20 F-35B fighters when they perform aviation missions. They can also perform combat tasks for aircraft carriers.It is "Lightning Carrier".If you count on "Lightning Carrier", the U.S. military can indeed maintain the combat effectiveness of 5 aircraft carriers in the Asia -Pacific region for a long time.
(In recent years, because the U.S. aircraft carriers are not available, they also often adjust the amphibious attack ships of F-35B fighters to guest aircraft carriers, The U.S. military calls it "Lightning Carrier")
An aircraft carrier as one of the core ships of the navy, its voyage deployment and return to Hong Kong have a fixed cycle.No matter whether it is the aircraft carrier itself and the sailors of the ship, there will be problems.Therefore, aircraft carriers usually take three groups, one is maintained at the port; one is performing training and debugging; one is executed by maritime deployment.The U.S. military now has a total of 11 aircraft carriers, and only 4 aircraft carriers can perform maritime deployment tasks normally every day.
Globally, the Russian and Ukraine War continued, Ukraine has obviously fallen into a slump, and the conflict between the Middle East Pakistani and IsraelAlready in a state of direct warfare with Yemenhasi.But even so, the United States is still only deployed one aircraft carrier in the Middle East, and only one "Badan" amphibious attack ship was deployed in the Mediterranean.Five aircraft carriers, and they are still promoting in the media, what is the purpose of Americans?
(my countrys Navy 055 destroyer "Nanchang", gave the U.S. military a lesson so that the US military knows that the aircraft carrier in the West Taihai area "Its not good")
It can be said that the main reason Americans do this is that the Western Pacific is the biggest strategic focus in the United States at present, and curbing China is the largest in the United States at present The goal.In recent years, with the rapid rise of Chinas economy and science and technology, the military forces of the PLA are also rapidly strengthening. To this end, the United States has not said that one two aircraft carriers in the past, even now three aircraft carriers can effectively curb China in the Western Pacific Ocean in the Western Pacific Ocean. In this case, in this case, the United States deliberately hidden the daily rotation of the aircraft carrier, and instead hyped "5 aircraft carriers into the backyard of my country". The Taiwan region cheered up, showing the advantages of the United States in the Western Pacific Water.
(HNAs bomber-6K/N bomber, carrying eagle-12 heavy anti-ship missiles can also effectively fight US aircraft carriers)
However, how many deterrent power such as the armed parade of the entire Pacific Ocean in the United States, it really needs a question mark. In 1996, in 1996, the two US aircraft carrier battle groups, a fewThe EA-6B electronic interference machine can be blind or even paralyzed by almost all radar and communication systems in the southeast coast of China.But today, a 055 destroyer "Nanchang" in my country can form an annihilation blow to the entire aircraft carrier battle group.And in addition to the 055 missile destroyer, the PLA-6K/N bomber now, carrying the eagle-12 heavy anti-ship missiles, is enough to effectively combat U.S. aircraft carriers outside the vision. The U.S. aircraft carrier, the Rocket Army launched Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26 from my countrys native hinterland, and can even annihilate the US aircraft carrier battle group at 2500 ~ 4000 kilometers ...
It can be said that China has already had a variety of means today that can effectively fight or even annihilate U.S. aircraft carriers. The scope of anti -aircraft carrier strikes of the U.S. military is above 2,000 kilometers!Therefore, no matter how many aircraft carriers in the U.S. military come to the West, they are just engaged in demonstrations. In the peacetime period, they can indeed come to see it. Once they really fight, these U.S. aircraft carriers are live targets, and one cannot escape!
