There is absolutely no confirmation that the Pacific Fleet with a Kirov, or the Kuznetsov is coming. Link please with a credible source.

Surely there is somewhat more risk, esp. if the Russians have any capability to track our planes.
There is so much in what is coming out of the Administration regarding the military intent & results of a U.S. hit on Syria that is (given a modicum of thought) contradictory, wishful thinking, or just plain silly, that I hardly know what to make of it, unless it is all “misdirection” of some sort.
Those ships are there.

One of the ships in this story is the Petr Velikiy (a Kirov) missile cruiser is the “large anti-submarine ship” from the Northern Fleet. Technically she is an all around combatant capable of dealing with nearly every threat.
