‘3rd Fleet Forward’ One of Several Tools to Deter North Korean Aggression
By: Megan Eckstein February 22, 2017 11:43 AM
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Navy forces are preparing for a conflict on the Korean Peninsula – the most likely “fight tonight” scenario they face – by shifting U.S. 3rd Fleet forces as well as the most advanced platforms into the Western Pacific.
Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, commander of U.S. 7th Fleet, said North Korea is the only country in his area of operations which is not seeing an improved relationship with the United States, and “if there’s a fight tonight, it’s probably going to happen on the Korean Peninsula.”
Aucoin, speaking at the WEST 2017 conference, said that “we hope that North Korea abides by the United Nations Security Council resolution to stop development of nuclear weapons, but I’m not holding my breath on that regard.” He then described a three-pronged approach for naval forces dealing with that North Korean threat: “technology, our partnerships, and training.”
“Technology, really with the shift to the Pacific we get the best equipment,” he explained.

Of course, North Korea isn’t the only threat the Pacific faces. To allow 7th Fleet to focus more resources on a potential North Korean contingency, U.S. 3rd Fleet is building up its ability to operate forces beyond the International Date Line, in areas of the Western Pacific traditionally commanded by 7th Fleet.

General LeMay, is that you?
LOL! No, but I was thoroughly "sacamcised" in his philosophy!
Lot cheaper to fire a nuke out of a deck gun, than burn up a ICBM delivering it. Trump does not believe in wasting money.
Anchors Away!!
Proudly wore that patch in 1975.
Returning North Korea to the terrorist list would be a proper and pragmatic recognition of regime behavior that violated U.S. statutes. It would also have tangible impact on regime finances. It would enable invoking stronger financial transaction licensing requirements under 31 CFR Part 596 vs. 31 CFR Part 510 and remove North Korea’s sovereign immunity from civil liability for terrorist acts.
Redesignation would also require the U.S. government to oppose loans to North Korea by international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Asian Development Bank.
