[Interview file] Nimitz and Roosevelt united... Sea of ​​Carriers, Indo-Pacific

The U.S. Navy's Nimitz, Roosevelt, and Reagan Carrier Corps gathered in the East Sea on November 12, 2017, when North Korea's mid-to-long-range missile provocations were in full swing.

We conducted joint exercises with Korean naval ships to show off their overwhelming firepower.

Roosevelt and Nimitz stopped by on their way to the Middle East and the United States for a mission shift, and together with the Northeast Asian built-in Reagan, they demonstrated force against North Korea.

One carrier squadron is equivalent to the overall national defense power, but it was a terrifying threat as three carrier squadrons united.

Reagan, Nimitz, and Roosevelt gathered again.

This is not a temporary gathering like in November 2017.

With the Reagan Carrier Corps permanently deployed in Yokosuka, Roosevelt and Nimitz Carrier Corps were dispatched under the command of the US Indo-Pacific Command over China and the Korean Peninsula, respectively, last month and early this month.

Unprecedentedly, three US carriers were deployed simultaneously in the Indo-Pacific region.

Roosevelt seemed to be heading to the Middle East last month, then just settled in the Indo-Pacific.

Nimitz was immediately deployed to the Indo-Pacific without worrying about the nine-month deployment in the Middle East.

Nimitz and Roosevelt have recently been training together.

The process of Nimitz’s deployment to the Indo-Pacific is also somewhat interesting.

Previously, reports were posted on the homepage of the US Navy or Indo-Pacific Command'quietly', but this time, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense made a loud announcement in front of the camera, saying, "We took into account the strategic geostrategic factors."

I wonder if there has ever been such a thing.

The intention is to deter the rise of China, but North Korea is bound to feel pressure.

Usually, the United States has one carrier in the Indo-Pacific and in the Middle East.

Reagan has been deployed at Indo-Pacific Command for several years.

In the Middle East of the Central Command, carriers were rotated, and Nimitsu had been deployed for nine months until the beginning of this month.

Nimitz suddenly moved to the Indo-Pacific after foreign news about returning to the US home port.

"The Secretary was mindful of the larger geostrategic picture when he approved." the movement)”.

The strategic geopolitical big picture is read as a means to pressure China with the QAD countries surrounding China such as India, Australia and Japan.

Roosevelt, who left the US at the end of last year and arrived in the Western Pacific last month, thought it was going to the Middle East through the Indo-Pacific.

However, it is just sitting in the Indo-Pacific region.

While staying near the Philippines in the South China Sea, I trained energetically with Nimitz, who had just arrived from the Middle East.

The U.S. military said Nimitz and Roosevelt conducted a dual carrier operations in the South China Sea on the 9th.

We conducted training for fighter jets and anti-submarines.

This is a composition in which three US carriers are properly placed in the Indo-Pacific.

Built-in Reagan is a studded stone, and Nimitz and Roosevelt may be leaving soon.

But there are no signs of that.

The think tank, the U.S. Naval Research Institute (USNI), predicted that the Eisenhower, now on the eastern coast of the United States, will be deployed to the Middle East.

In other words, Roosevelt will never go to the Middle East.

There is a high likelihood that the deployment of Nimitz, Roosevelt, and Reagan in the Indo-Pacific will remain stable for a certain period of time.

The US Navy said the Carl Vinson Carrier Corps, currently off the west coast, plans to deploy at the end of the year.

When a carrier on the west coast of the United States unfolds, the destination is probably the Indo-Pacific.

If Nimitz and Roosevelt leave throughout the year, it is a stone to send an aircraft carrier again.

The strengthening of the Indo-Pacific strategy based on the strength of the carrier squad is another word of Chinese pressure.

The carrier squad, which has gathered in the Indo-Pacific this year, is a touchstone on how the US Biden administration will deal with China.

In the Trump administration, while the military supported diplomacy, the Biden administration felt that the military's steps were far ahead of diplomacy.

The Biden administration's policy toward North Korea will be in the same vein.
