All of them are actually A type of aircraft carrier just not super sonic. They also have, i believe, helicopters and they have a task force of dupport ships with them like an aircraft Carrier group only smaller.
Someone told me that if you count them and all of our full sized Carrier groups together there’s like 27 aircraft Carrier type task forces.
I wish we had a real navy guy here to clarify but I’m not so sure we want to be clarifying the capabilities of anything we have anywhere at this point in time.
We seem to be on an actual war footing with China right now and it could go hot.
If we knew that it was actually a biological weapon in that was released on purpose this is the kind of pathway I would take to slowly crank up useful forces in the appropriate regions to physically retaliate and destroy the enemy who in this case may actually be Communist China who is at war with us.
This wouldn’t be the 1st time that 1 nation winning a trade war triggered International conflict.
If Vietnam or Phillippines want a US assault to protect their territory, I think we’d provide it.
Not sure either of them does though.
