A deployed US Navy aircraft carrier sailed into the South China Sea this week carrying F-35 stealth fighters in a first for the service.
The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group departed San Diego early last month, making history at it sailed into the Pacific.
At that time, the Nimitz-class carrier USS Carl Vinson became the first US Navy aircraft carrier to deploy with an integrated air wing consisting of both fourth-generation F/A-18 Super Hornets and fifth-generation F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters.
The strike group is now in the South China Sea and conducting maritime security operations, the US Navy said in a press statement Tuesday.

The South China sea is a message.
Better message would be to give Nuke missile subs to Taiwan.
Biden has to start WW3 - it’s the only way to save the DNC
Biden won’t have any say in that decision.....it will be those lurking behind him that will determine the “red line” and we know already how they play the red line.
You know, you may not be incorrect 🤔
Too much crazy stuff going on these days
Biden doesn’t want a War, He wants his chance to SURRENDER and Have the People SUBMIT to the ChiComs
Don’t bump into each other!
We will be lucky if the strike group ever makes it back to the US. The Biden admin would love to give it to the chiComs.
Knowing Joe, he and Hunter sold these fighters to China. The navy is just making the delivery.

More like diversity and inclusion operations. That's the only thing that seems to matter to the military these days. Wokeness is leaving us defenseless.
Whenever we send a carrier strike group into the South China Sea, the CCP goes silent. They really are cowards who only attack weakness.

Biden will surrender this Strike Group to the ChiComs. Bet on it.
So how long will it before Biden orders the evacuation of the strike group and turns the ships over to China?
War is not the goal. Surrender is the agenda.
We'll be ok as long as the junior female Lieutenants on duty are on speaking terms with each other.
I see we gave the Vinson a Little Crappy Ship(LCS) to protect it. Sigh.....
Yup. Those are made about 13 miles from where I'm presently sitting.
