USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier group has arrived in waters near the Korean peninsula, where it will join the USS Michigan, a guided missile submarine that docked in South Korea on Tuesday.

Upon arrival today, the carrier kicked off a joint drill with the South Korean navy.

A defence ministry spokesman said: “Immediately after the aircraft carrier arrived in the Sea of Japan, South Korea and the US strike forces launched a drill from 6pm Saturday.”

The drill came hours after the North launched a ballistic missile in apparent defiance of a concerted US push for tougher international sanctions to curb Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons ambitions.

I’m pretty sure out of all of Kimmy’s sub fleet thats been sent all around the globe i bet most have been sunk already, no witnesses in the briny deep. Its not the missiles i woukd fear, its any missing sub with a nuclear torpedo.

I think so. Forcing NK to initiate a provocative move, and watch reactions from China and Russia. Depending on further developments, we may strike with lightning fast and overwhelming force on the North.

I envision stealth B2s taking out communications, radar, and power. THAAD and ABMs protecting the South.

Observed some exercises when stationed in S. Korea. Was a treat to be jogging around the flight line and witness waves of F-15’s taking off in tandem under full military afterburner.
