INTRODUCTION:
The United States has deployed the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson to the disputed waters of the South China Sea as part of maritime "routine operations." But in the current scenario, the deployment can be called anything but routine.
China has a long history of maritime disputes with its South China Sea neighbors.
It claims almost all of the South China Sea, including islands more than 800 miles (~1300 km) from the Chinese mainland, despite objections from neighbors such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam.
Beijing has also created artificial islands in the area, outfitting some of them with military features. According to the US, China has reclaimed more than 3,000 acres in the Spratly Islands since 2014.
Though the US takes no position on the territorial dispute in the South China Sea, its warships have conducted routine "freedom of navigation" operations near the reclaimed islands, eliciting warnings from Beijing.
Patrols by USS Carl Vinson, is seen by military experts as a way of sending direct message to China and reassuring the US allies.
In this video, we will analyze HOW POWERFUL USS CARL VINSON IS, AND WHY CHINA FEARS IT?
So, let us get into the details.
OVERVIEW:
USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) is the third United States Navy Nimitz-class super carrier and is named after Carl Vinson, a Congressman from Georgia, in recognition of his contributions to the US Navy. The ship was launched in 1980, and was commissioned on 13 March 1982.
It has been deployed in Operation Desert Strike, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Southern Watch, and Operation Enduring Freedom.
Notably the body of Osama bin Laden was buried at sea in 2011 from the deck of the Carl Vinson.
SIZE:
USS Carl Vinson being a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, was designed to be improvements on previous U.S. aircraft carriers, in particular the Enterprise and Forrestal-class.
All 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers including Carl Vinson were constructed between 1968 and 2006 at Newport News Shipbuilding Company, Virginia, in the largest dry-dock in the western hemisphere.
These are some of the largest vessels constructed.
USS Carl Vinson has a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and overall length of 332.8 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective, it is about 3 football fields long.
SPEED AND ENDURANCE:
USS Carl Vinson is powered by two A4W nuclear reactors, kept in separate compartments.
These power 4 propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots or 56 km/h.
As a result of the use of nuclear power, the ship is capable of operating continuously for over 20 years without refueling, and is predicted to have a service life of over 50 years.
Practically it has unlimited range & endurance.
AIRCRAFTS:
The Vinson carries a flight group of more than 60 aircraft, including F-18 jet fighters.
These are twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable 4th generation multirole fighter aircrafts.
They have a payload of 7700 kg (17000 lbs), and can carry ground attack weapons as well as air-to-air missiles.
The versatility of the aircraft can be gauged from the fact that on the first day of Operation Desert Storm, two F 18, each carrying four 2,000 lb. bombs, shot down two Iraqi Migs and then proceeded to deliver their bombs on target.
The flotilla of aircrafts has enough firepower to mount a credible offensive against any Chinese misadventure.
RADAR, WEAPONS & ARMOR:
Nimitz class possesses multitude of different radars including electronically scanned array 3D radars.
It is equipped with 16 to 24 RIM-7 Sea Sparrow or NATO Sea Sparrow missiles. RIM-7 Sea Sparrow is a US ship-borne short-range anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapon system, primarily intended for defense against anti-ship missiles. Its range is 19 km.
Close in weapon (CIWS) duties are performed by Phalanx, & RIM-116 Rolling Airframe missile.
Phalanx C I WS has a 4500 /min rate of fire. RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missiles have speed in excess of 2 Mach.
REACTIONS & CONCLUSION:
USS Carl Vinson is not alone, but it leads the U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group One.
It is accompanied by other vessels including an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS Wayne E Meyer (DDG 108). Arleigh Burke class is considered to be one of the most potent destroyer in the world.
The Carl Vinson strike group’s arrival in the South China Sea brings the United States’ carrier presence in the Asia-Pacific up to 2 groups. The USS Ronald Reagan is permanently forward deployed with the U S Seventh Fleet at Yokosuka, Japan.
This move seems to have made the Chinese nervous.
According to Reuters, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a daily news briefing, “China always respects the freedom of navigation and overflight all littoral countries enjoy under international law,”
Carrier Strike Group USS Carl Vinson Patrol In South China Sea Update
SOUTH CHINA SEA (NNS) -- Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 1, including Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 1's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108), and aircraft from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, began routine operations in the South China Sea, Feb. 18.
Prior to their operations in the South China Sea, ships and aircraft from within the strike group conducted training off the islands of Hawaii and Guam to maintain and improve their readiness and develop cohesion as a strike group. The strike group recently enjoyed a port visit to Guam and after departing the Marianas, conducted operations in the Philippine Sea.
"The training completed over the past few weeks has really brought the team together and improved our effectiveness and readiness as a strike group," said Rear Adm. James Kilby, commander, CSG 1. "We are looking forward to demonstrating those capabilities while building upon existing strong relationships with our allies, partners and friends in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region."
Vinson last deployed to the Western-Pacific in 2015 and conducted a bilateral exercise with the Royal Malaysian Navy and Royal Malaysian Air Force in the South China Sea. Vinson first operated in the South China Sea in 1983 and in total, has operated there during 16 previous deployments over its 35 year history.
While deployed, the Carl Vinson CSG will remain under U.S. 3rd Fleet command and control, including beyond the international dateline, which previously divided operational areas of responsibility for 3rd and 7th Fleets. Third Fleet operating forward offers additional options to the Pacific Fleet commander by leveraging the capabilities of 3rd and 7th Fleets. This operational concept allows both numbered fleets to complement one another and provide the foundation of stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
CVW-2 includes the "Black Knights" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 4, the "Blue Hawks" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 78, the "Bounty Hunters" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 2, the "Blue Blasters" of VFA-34, the "Kestrels" of VFA-137, the "Golden Dragons" of VFA-192, the "Black Eagles" of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 113, the "Gauntlets" of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136 and the "Providers" of Fleet Logistic Support Squadron (VRC) 30.

USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) Carrier Strike Group in Action
USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) is deployed during composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX) 2016 off the coast of Southern California.
Composite Training Unit Exercise, is a rehearsal each US Navy Carrier Strike Group performs before departing for deployment. Each ship and aircraft in the battle group trains in its specialty; COMPTUEX brings ships together to project force as a battle group. COMPTUEX is an intermediate-level battle group exercise designed to forge together the battle group and its components into a fully functional fighting team. COMPTUEX is a critical part in the pre-deployment training cycle, and a prerequisite for the battle group's Joint Task Force Exercise.
COMPTUEX is normally conducted during a two-week to three-week period six to eight weeks before deployment. Successfully completion of COMTPUEX certifies the carrier and its air wing as qualified for open ocean operations. COMPTUEX consists of an 18-day schedule of event driven exercise which the follows with a three-day Final Battle Problem. It is conducted and directed by the training carrier group commander and the focus is to bring together the carrier and its air wing as a working team that can operate in a combat environment, as well as integrating with other assets of the battle group.

INTRODUCTION:
On April 10 the US Navy’s Carl Vinson strike group suddenly changed course from Australia to the Korean Peninsula amid concerns that North Korea could soon conduct its 6th nuclear test or more missile launches.
USS Carl Vinson is one of the most powerful weapons platform in the world, being 3 football fields long, having a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and is capable of carrying more than 60 strike aircrafts.
It must be noted that, USS Carl Vinson is not alone, but it leads the US Navy Carrier Strike Group One.
It is accompanied by other vessels including an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS Wayne E Meyer (DDG 108). Arleigh Burke class is considered to be one of the most potent destroyers in the world.
It is also expected to be accompanied by 1 or 2 submarines, though details are classified.
Let us analyze if USS Carl Vinson aided by the other vessels of the strike group is unsinkable or not.
ATTACK BY AIRCRAFT:
Traditional but this method has been effective. In case of conflict, USS Carl Vinson will certainly be coming under attack from enemy bombers or fighters.
Here Carl Vinson can use its own aircrafts to meet the challenge. Carl Vinson has F 18 Hornets and F 18 Super Hornets to engage enemy aircrafts. It will also deploy F 35 in near future. It will be aided by 1 or 2 Awacs for long distance target detection apart from its own high performance radars.
Aegis air defense system will also provide cover and is capable of mounting strong defense.
It can be safely assumed, the carrier group is capable of strong and aggressive retaliation against attack by aircrafts, and should be able to thwart it.
TORPEDOES FROM SUBMARINES
Modern torpedoes can achieve speeds in excess of 40 knots and operate at depths of 400 m. These can have range of 40 to 50 km, and carry 250 to 500 lb high explosive warhead.
The warhead size may be not so large, but the important thing is that a torpedo will hit a surface vessel below its waterline. Though aircraft carriers and large surface vessels have system of compartments, to seal off parts which is damaged, a single hit in delicate region like propeller area can have a crippling effect.
USS Carl Vinson does have Kevlar protection to minimize damages, but against an enemy submarine, its biggest defense will be its own submarine escort. Every US carrier group has submarines to detect and hunt enemy submarines.
Also, USS Carl Vinson will have cover from P-8 Poseidon. The P-8 is specially designed to conduct anti-submarine warfare and will keep scanning the waters in the vicinity of the aircraft carrier with its specialized equipments.
So it can be concluded that, there will be no easy way to target USS Carl Vinson with torpedo, but will required deployment of multiple submarines with proper strategy.
CRUISE MISSIE:
Cruise missiles are by far the most potent threat to an aircraft carrier like Carl Vinson. Cruise missile tends to be versatile have the ability to be launched from different platforms like surface vessels or land. These also have the range to be launched from far off and are relatively cheaper when compared with an aircraft carrier, hence can be fired in large numbers to saturate the enemy defenses.
In between the cruise missile and the carrier will be US's state of art Aegis Air Defense System.
Here are 3 most lethal weapon in this category and how they are expected to perform:
1. Russian 3M14 Kalibr is equivalent to the American tomahawk cruise missile in many parameters such as range, warhead and propulsion.
It has a 2500 km range, a 450 kg high-explosive warhead and has a speed of 0.8 mach.
The Kalibr is highly maneuverable, but lacks speed, and is expected to be intercepted by the Carrier Group’s Aegis system. Even if 1 to 2 missile is not intercepted, they will not to be able to deliver lethal blow to a super carrier like Carl Vinson.
2. Indo Russian Brahmos is currently the most formidable challenge to a carrier like USS Carl Vinson. It has speed of 2.8 to 3 Mach, range of more that 450 km and is highly maneuverable. Being supersonic, it has almost 16 times the Kinetic energy of a missile like Kalibr or Tomahawk. Brahmos is known to break ships in half in test scenarios. Since it is so fast, the Aegis defense system will find it difficult to intercept, specially if it faces a barrage of 4 to 8 Brahmos .
The result is hard to predict, but can be concluded to being 50 50.
3. Russia’s 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missile is expected to enter production in 2018. The new weapon—which is capable of speeds of around Mach 6 is currently in testing.

INTRODUCTION:
The USS Carl Vinson super carrier has been in news all over and rightly so. The massive carrier is symbol of US clout and projects power far beyond the US mainland. The carrier has an air wing, which is more powerful than the entire air force of most nations. The US has 10 of these Nimitz class carriers.
But is there something in US arsenal, which is even more potent than the mighty USS Carl Vinson? Here we are taking about the Ohio class Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN).
The U S navy has 18 Ohio-class submarines, 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and 4 that were later converted to guided missile submarines (SSGN).
In this video, Defense Updates analyses the two platforms and compares them on the basis of 5 important characteristics.
RANGE/ENDURANCE/SPEED:
Both the USS Carl Vinson and Ohio class are nuclear powered. Being nuclear powered these have practically unlimited range and endurance.
USS Carl Vinson has maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h). Ohio class has a speed of around 20 to 25 knots when submerged.
Hence, none of the two platforms have any distinct advantage over the other in this regard.
EASE OF TARGETING:
The first point required for target any enemy asset is the ability to detect it.
USS Carl Vinson has a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and overall length of 333 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective, it is about 3 football fields long.
The massive structure can be located from far off. This can be targeted with torpedoes, cruise missiles as well as aircrafts from long distances.
The Ohio-class submarines are the largest submarines ever built for the U S Navy having a displacement of around 17000 tonnes. But Ohio class stays beneath the water surface and has vast area of ocean to hide itself. It is also very silent, making it practically impossible to target from long distances.
EASE OF DEPLOYMENT:
Both of these platforms are not deployed alone but have escorts. In case of USS Carl Vinson, it escorted by destroyers, submarines and multitude of other support vessels.
The Ohio class is also generally escorted by single or two attack submarines however it can move alone if required. The purpose of the attack submarines is to protect the Ohio class from enemy submarines, though in case of eventualities, the Ohio class can take out enemy subs with its own torpedoes.
The logistical challenges of deployment of Carl Vinson is massive and much more compared to Ohio class, giving Ohio class a distinct advantage in this regard.
TACTICAL MISSIONS:
Carl Vinson carries a flight group of more than 60 aircraft, including F-18 jet fighters.
These are twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable 4th generation multirole fighter aircrafts.
They have a payload of 7700 kg (17000 lbs), and can carry ground attack weapons as well as air-to-air missiles. Equipped with precision ammunition, these can carry out multitude of tactical mission.
Ohio class does not have this kind of flexibility. The difference is that, Ohio class deploys only weapons like torpedoes and missiles, whereas Carl Vinson deploys fighter jets, which are themselves weapons platform.
DESTRUCTIVE POWER:
USS Carl Vinson doesn’t have any offensive weapons of its own, but relies on the flotilla of aircrafts for offensive. These fighter jets are designed for tactical role.
Carl Vinson doesn’t carry strategic bombers like B-52H and B-2 which are capable of nuke delivery.
The 14 Ballistic Missile Submarines of Ohio class together carry approximately 50% of the total US active inventory of strategic thermonuclear warheads. It has carries 24 Trident Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles which have range of a range of 11000 km.
Each of these missiles has 12 MIRV (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle) nuclear warheads, and each of these warheads have explosive power equivalent of 300 to 475 kilo tonnes of TNT.
CONCLUSION:
USS Carl Vinson and Ohio class ballistic missile submarines have different roles. The USS Carl Vinson shines in tactical capacity, is more versatile but is also more venerable.
In term of pure destructive capacity Ohio class wins hands down, being capable of strategic nuke delivery.
In war scenario, these 2 platforms will work in conjunction and the duo provides the United States with a massive firepower.

USS Carl Vinson to Spend 30 Extra Days on Deployment to Korea
The USS Carl Vinson will spend an extra 30 days on deployment in order to patrol the waters off the Korean Peninsula, the ship's commander announced late Tuesday night.
Rear Adm. Jim Kilby, commander of Carrier Strike Group One, said in a Facebook post that the Carl Vinson will spend an extra 30 days at sea in order to "provide a persistent presence" near North Korea.
"Our mission is to reassure allies and our partners of our steadfast commitment to the Indo-Asia-Pacific region," Kilby wrote. "We will continue to be the centerpiece of visible maritime deterrence, providing our national command authority with flexible deterrent options, all domain access, and a visible forward presence."

Carl Vinson
Carl Vinson (November 18, 1883 – June 1, 1981) was a United States Representative from Georgia. He was a Democrat and served for more than 50 years in the United States House of Representatives. He was known as "The Father of the Two-Ocean Navy".
Early years
Vinson was born in Fulton County, Georgia, attended Georgia Military College, and graduated with a law degree from Mercer University in 1902. He was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1908. After losing a third term following redistricting, he was appointed judge of the Baldwin County court, but following the sudden death of Senator Augustus Bacon, Representative Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia's 10th congressional district was nominated to fill Bacon's Senate seat and Vinson announced his candidacy for Hardwick's seat in Congress. Vinson won over three opponents. He was the youngest member of Congress (30 years old) when he was sworn in on November 3, 1914.

USS Carl Vinson
USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) is the third United States Navy Nimitz-class supercarrier and is named after Carl Vinson, a Congressman from Georgia, in recognition of his contributions to the US Navy. The ship was launched in 1980, undertook its maiden voyage in 1983, and underwent Refueling and Overhaul between 2005 and 2009. Carl Vinson's callsign is "Gold Eagle".
Besides deployments in Operation Desert Strike, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Southern Watch, and Operation Enduring Freedom, the Carl Vinson was involved in a number of notable events. The body of Osama bin Laden was disposed of in 2011 from the deck of the Carl Vinson, and that same year, on Veterans Day, it played host to the first NCAA basketball game on an aircraft carrier, between North Carolina and Michigan State.
Namesake
A member of the United States House of Representatives for fifty years, Carl Vinson was, for twenty-nine years, the Chairman of the House Naval Affairs and Armed Services Committee; Vinson was the principal sponsor of the so-called "Vinson Acts," culminating in the Two-Ocean Navy Act of 1940, which provided for the massive Naval shipbuilding effort in World War II.

Carrier strike group
A carrier strike group (CSG) is an operational formation of the United States Navy. It is composed of roughly 7,500 personnel, an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least two destroyers and/or frigates, and a carrier air wing of 65 to 70 aircraft. A carrier strike group also, on occasion, includes submarines, attached logistics ships and a supply ship. The carrier strike group commander operationally reports to the commander of the numbered fleet, who is operationally responsible for the area of waters in which the carrier strike group is operating.
Carrier strike groups comprise a principal element of U.S. power projection capability. Previously referred to as Carrier Battle Groups (a term still used by other nations), they are often referred to by the carrier they are associated with (e.g., Enterprise Strike Group). There are currently 10 carrier strike groups.
The carrier strike group is a flexible naval force that can operate in confined waters or in the open ocean, during day and night, in all weather conditions. The principal role of the carrier and its air wing within the carrier strike group is to provide the primary offensive firepower, while the other ships provide defense and support. These roles are not exclusive, however. Other ships in the strike group sometimes undertake offensive operations (launching cruise missiles, for instance) and the carrier's air wing contributes to the strike group's defense (through combat air patrols and airborne anti-submarine efforts). Thus, from a command and control perspective, carrier strike groups are combat organized by mission rather than by platform.

Ohio-class submarine
The Ohio class is a class of nuclear-powered submarines currently used by the United States Navy. The navy has 18 Ohio-class submarines: 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and four that were later converted to guided missile submarines (SSGN).
The Ohio class is named after the lead submarine of this class, USS Ohio. The 14 Trident II SSBNs together carry approximately fifty percent of the total US active inventory of strategic thermonuclear warheads. Although the Trident missiles have no pre-set targets when the submarines go on patrol, the warships, when required, are capable of quickly being assigned targets by using secure and constant radio communications links at sea, including very low frequency (VLF) systems.
All the Ohio-class submarines, except for USS Henry M. Jackson, are named for U.S. states, which until that point was a tradition reserved for battleships and cruisers.
The Ohio-class submarines are the largest submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy. Two classes of the Russian Navy's submarines have larger total displacements: the Soviet-designed Typhoon-class submarines have more than twice the total displacement, and Russia's Borei-class submarines have roughly 25 percent greater displacement, but the Ohio-class boats carry more missiles than either: 24 Trident missiles per boat, versus 16 missiles for the Borei class (20 for the Borei II) and 20 for the Typhoon class.

HOW POWERFUL USS CARL VINSON IS, AND WHY CHINA FEARS IT? TOP 5 FACTSHOW POWERFUL USS CARL VINSON IS, AND WHY CHINA FEARS IT? TOP 5 FACTS
INTRODUCTION: The United States has deployed the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson to the disputed waters of the South China Sea as part of maritime "routine operations." But in the current scenario, the deployment can be called anything but routine. China has a long history of maritime disputes with its South China Sea neighbors. It claims almost all of the South China Sea, including islands more than 800 miles (~1300 km) from the Chinese mainland, despite objections from neighbors such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam. Beijing has also created artificial islands in the area, outfitting some of them with military features. According to the US, China has reclaimed more than 3,000 acres in the Spratly Islands since 2014. Though the US takes no position on the territorial dispute in the South China Sea, its warships have conducted routine "freedom of navigation" operations near the reclaimed islands, eliciting warnings from Beijing. Patrols by USS Carl Vinson, is seen by military experts as a way of sending direct message to China and reassuring the US allies. In this video, we will analyze HOW POWERFUL USS CARL VINSON IS, AND WHY CHINA FEARS IT? So, let us get into the details.

Carrier Strike Group USS Carl Vinson Patrol In South China Sea Update SOUTH CHINA SEA (NNS) -- Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 1, including Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 1's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108), and aircraft from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, began routine operations in the South China Sea, Feb. 18. Prior to their operations in the South China Sea, ships and aircraft from within the strike group conducted training off the islands of Hawaii and Guam to maintain and improve their readiness and develop cohesion as a strike group. The strike group recently enjoyed a port visit to Guam and after departing the Marianas, conducted operations in the Philippine Sea. "The training completed over the past few weeks has really brought the team together and improved our effectiveness and readiness as a strike group," said Rear Adm. James Kilby, commander, CSG 1. "We are looking forward to demonstrating those capabilities while building upon existing strong relationships with our allies, partners and friends in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region." Vinson last deployed to the Western-Pacific in 2015 and conducted a bilateral exercise with the Royal Malaysian Navy and Royal Malaysian Air Force in the South China Sea. Vinson first operated in the South China Sea in 1983 and in total, has operated there during 16 previous deployments over its 35 year history. While deployed, the Carl Vinson CSG will remain under U.S. 3rd Fleet command and control, including beyond the international dateline, which previously divided operational areas of responsibility for 3rd and 7th Fleets. Third Fleet operating forward offers additional options to the Pacific Fleet commander by leveraging the capabilities of 3rd and 7th Fleets. This operational concept allows both numbered fleets to complement one another and provide the foundation of stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. CVW-2 includes the "Black Knights" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 4, the "Blue Hawks" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 78, the "Bounty Hunters" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 2, the "Blue Blasters" of VFA-34, the "Kestrels" of VFA-137, the "Golden Dragons" of VFA-192, the "Black Eagles" of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 113, the "Gauntlets" of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136 and the "Providers" of Fleet Logistic Support Squadron (VRC) 30. -

USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) Carrier Strike Group in Action USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) is deployed during composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX) 2016 off the coast of Southern California. Composite Training Unit Exercise, is a rehearsal each US Navy Carrier Strike Group performs before departing for deployment. Each ship and aircraft in the battle group trains in its specialty; COMPTUEX brings ships together to project force as a battle group. COMPTUEX is an intermediate-level battle group exercise designed to forge together the battle group and its components into a fully functional fighting team. COMPTUEX is a critical part in the pre-deployment training cycle, and a prerequisite for the battle group's Joint Task Force Exercise. COMPTUEX is normally conducted during a two-week to three-week period six to eight weeks before deployment. Successfully completion of COMTPUEX certifies the carrier and its air wing as qualified for open ocean operations. COMPTUEX consists of an 18-day schedule of event driven exercise which the follows with a three-day Final Battle Problem. It is conducted and directed by the training carrier group commander and the focus is to bring together the carrier and its air wing as a working team that can operate in a combat environment, as well as integrating with other assets of the battle group. -

7:04IS US SUPER-CARRIER CARL VINSON UNSINKABLE ? UNBIASED ANALYSIS
IS US SUPER-CARRIER CARL VINSON UNSINKABLE ? UNBIASED ANALYSISIS US SUPER-CARRIER CARL VINSON UNSINKABLE ? UNBIASED ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION: On April 10 the US Navy’s Carl Vinson strike group suddenly changed course from Australia to the Korean Peninsula amid concerns that North Korea could soon conduct its 6th nuclear test or more missile launches. USS Carl Vinson is one of the most powerful weapons platform in the world, being 3 football fields long, having a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and is capable of carrying more than 60 strike aircrafts. It must be noted that, USS Carl Vinson is not alone, but it leads the US Navy Carrier Strike Group One. It is accompanied by other vessels including an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS Wayne E Meyer (DDG 108). Arleigh Burke class is considered to be one of the most potent destroyers in the world. It is also expected to be accompanied by 1 or 2 submarines, though details are classified. Let us analyze if USS Carl Vinson aided by the other vessels of the strike group is unsinkable or not. ATTACK BY AIRCRAFT: Traditional but this method has been effective. In case of conflict, USS Carl Vinson will certainly be coming under attack from enemy bombers or fighters. Here Carl Vinson can use its own aircrafts to meet the challenge. Carl Vinson has F 18 Hornets and F 18 Super Hornets to engage enemy aircrafts. It will also deploy F 35 in near future. It will be aided by 1 or 2 Awacs for long distance target detection apart from its own high performance radars. Aegis air defense system will also provide cover and is capable of mounting strong defense. It can be safely assumed, the carrier group is capable of strong and aggressive retaliation against attack by aircrafts, and should be able to thwart it. TORPEDOES FROM SUBMARINES Modern torpedoes can achieve speeds in excess of 40 knots and operate at depths of 400 m. These can have range of 40 to 50 km, and carry 250 to 500 lb high explosive warhead. The warhead size may be not so large, but the important thing is that a torpedo will hit a surface vessel below its waterline. Though aircraft carriers and large surface vessels have system of compartments, to seal off parts which is damaged, a single hit in delicate region like propeller area can have a crippling effect. USS Carl Vinson does have Kevlar protection to minimize damages, but against an enemy submarine, its biggest defense will be its own submarine escort. Every US carrier group has submarines to detect and hunt enemy submarines. Also, USS Carl Vinson will have cover from P-8 Poseidon. The P-8 is specially designed to conduct anti-submarine warfare and will keep scanning the waters in the vicinity of the aircraft carrier with its specialized equipments. So it can be concluded that, there will be no easy way to target USS Carl Vinson with torpedo, but will required deployment of multiple submarines with proper strategy. CRUISE MISSIE: Cruise missiles are by far the most potent threat to an aircraft carrier like Carl Vinson. Cruise missile tends to be versatile have the ability to be launched from different platforms like surface vessels or land. These also have the range to be launched from far off and are relatively cheaper when compared with an aircraft carrier, hence can be fired in large numbers to saturate the enemy defenses. In between the cruise missile and the carrier will be US's state of art Aegis Air Defense System. Here are 3 most lethal weapon in this category and how they are expected to perform: 1. Russian 3M14 Kalibr is equivalent to the American tomahawk cruise missile in many parameters such as range, warhead and propulsion. It has a 2500 km range, a 450 kg high-explosive warhead and has a speed of 0.8 mach. The Kalibr is highly maneuverable, but lacks speed, and is expected to be intercepted by the Carrier Group’s Aegis system. Even if 1 to 2 missile is not intercepted, they will not to be able to deliver lethal blow to a super carrier like Carl Vinson. 2. Indo Russian Brahmos is currently the most formidable challenge to a carrier like USS Carl Vinson. It has speed of 2.8 to 3 Mach, range of more that 450 km and is highly maneuverable. Being supersonic, it has almost 16 times the Kinetic energy of a missile like Kalibr or Tomahawk. Brahmos is known to break ships in half in test scenarios. Since it is so fast, the Aegis defense system will find it difficult to intercept, specially if it faces a barrage of 4 to 8 Brahmos . The result is hard to predict, but can be concluded to being 50 50. 3. Russia’s 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missile is expected to enter production in 2018. The new weapon—which is capable of speeds of around Mach 6 is currently in testing. -

6:14DOES U.S. HAVE SOMETHING MORE POTENT THAN THE USS CARL VINSON?
DOES U.S. HAVE SOMETHING MORE POTENT THAN THE USS CARL VINSON?DOES U.S. HAVE SOMETHING MORE POTENT THAN THE USS CARL VINSON?
INTRODUCTION: The USS Carl Vinson super carrier has been in news all over and rightly so. The massive carrier is symbol of US clout and projects power far beyond the US mainland. The carrier has an air wing, which is more powerful than the entire air force of most nations. The US has 10 of these Nimitz class carriers. But is there something in US arsenal, which is even more potent than the mighty USS Carl Vinson? Here we are taking about the Ohio class Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN). The U S navy has 18 Ohio-class submarines, 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and 4 that were later converted to guided missile submarines (SSGN). In this video, Defense Updates analyses the two platforms and compares them on the basis of 5 important characteristics. RANGE/ENDURANCE/SPEED: Both the USS Carl Vinson and Ohio class are nuclear powered. Being nuclear powered these have practically unlimited range and endurance. USS Carl Vinson has maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h). Ohio class has a speed of around 20 to 25 knots when submerged. Hence, none of the two platforms have any distinct advantage over the other in this regard. EASE OF TARGETING: The first point required for target any enemy asset is the ability to detect it. USS Carl Vinson has a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and overall length of 333 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective, it is about 3 football fields long. The massive structure can be located from far off. This can be targeted with torpedoes, cruise missiles as well as aircrafts from long distances. The Ohio-class submarines are the largest submarines ever built for the U S Navy having a displacement of around 17000 tonnes. But Ohio class stays beneath the water surface and has vast area of ocean to hide itself. It is also very silent, making it practically impossible to target from long distances. EASE OF DEPLOYMENT: Both of these platforms are not deployed alone but have escorts. In case of USS Carl Vinson, it escorted by destroyers, submarines and multitude of other support vessels. The Ohio class is also generally escorted by single or two attack submarines however it can move alone if required. The purpose of the attack submarines is to protect the Ohio class from enemy submarines, though in case of eventualities, the Ohio class can take out enemy subs with its own torpedoes. The logistical challenges of deployment of Carl Vinson is massive and much more compared to Ohio class, giving Ohio class a distinct advantage in this regard. TACTICAL MISSIONS: Carl Vinson carries a flight group of more than 60 aircraft, including F-18 jet fighters. These are twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable 4th generation multirole fighter aircrafts. They have a payload of 7700 kg (17000 lbs), and can carry ground attack weapons as well as air-to-air missiles. Equipped with precision ammunition, these can carry out multitude of tactical mission. Ohio class does not have this kind of flexibility. The difference is that, Ohio class deploys only weapons like torpedoes and missiles, whereas Carl Vinson deploys fighter jets, which are themselves weapons platform. DESTRUCTIVE POWER: USS Carl Vinson doesn’t have any offensive weapons of its own, but relies on the flotilla of aircrafts for offensive. These fighter jets are designed for tactical role. Carl Vinson doesn’t carry strategic bombers like B-52H and B-2 which are capable of nuke delivery. The 14 Ballistic Missile Submarines of Ohio class together carry approximately 50% of the total US active inventory of strategic thermonuclear warheads. It has carries 24 Trident Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles which have range of a range of 11000 km. Each of these missiles has 12 MIRV (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle) nuclear warheads, and each of these warheads have explosive power equivalent of 300 to 475 kilo tonnes of TNT. CONCLUSION: USS Carl Vinson and Ohio class ballistic missile submarines have different roles. The USS Carl Vinson shines in tactical capacity, is more versatile but is also more venerable. In term of pure destructive capacity Ohio class wins hands down, being capable of strategic nuke delivery. In war scenario, these 2 platforms will work in conjunction and the duo provides the United States with a massive firepower. -

Patrols by USS Carl Vinson, is seen by military experts as a way of sending direct message to China and reassuring the US allies.
In this video, we will analyze HOW POWERFUL USS CARL VINSON IS, AND WHY CHINA FEARS IT?
So, let us get into the details.
OVERVIEW:
USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) is the third United States Navy Nimitz-class super carrier and is named after Carl Vinson, a Congressman from Georgia, in recognition of his contributions to the US Navy. The ship was launched in 1980, and was commissioned on 13 March 1982.
It has been deployed in Operation Desert Strike, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Southern Watch, and Operation Enduring Freedom.
Notably the body of Osama bin Laden was buried at sea in 2011 from the deck of the Carl Vinson.
SIZE:
USS Carl Vinson being a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, was designed to be improvements on previous U.S. aircraft carriers, in particular the Enterprise and Forrestal-class.
All 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers including Carl Vinson were constructed between 1968 and 2006 at Newport News Shipbuilding Company, Virginia, in the largest dry-dock in the western hemisphere.
These are some of the largest vessels constructed.
USS Carl Vinson has a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and overall length of 332.8 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective, it is about 3 football fields long.
SPEED AND ENDURANCE:
USS Carl Vinson is powered by two A4W nuclear reactors, kept in separate compartments.
These power 4 propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots or 56 km/h.
As a result of the use of nuclear power, the ship is capable of operating continuously for over 20 years without refueling, and is predicted to have a service life of over 50 years.
Practically it has unlimited range & endurance.
AIRCRAFTS:
The Vinson carries a flight group of more than 60 aircraft, including F-18 jet fighters.
These are twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable 4th generation multirole fighter aircrafts.
They have a payload of 7700 kg (17000 lbs), and can carry ground attack weapons as well as air-to-air missiles.
The versatility of the aircraft can be gauged from the fact that on the first day of Operation Desert Storm, two F 18, each carrying four 2,000 lb. bombs, shot down two Iraqi Migs and then proceeded to deliver their bombs on target.
The flotilla of aircrafts has enough firepower to mount a credible offensive against any Chinese misadventure.
RADAR, WEAPONS & ARMOR:
Nimitz class possesses multitude of different radars including electronically scanned array 3D radars.
It is equipped with 16 to 24 RIM-7 Sea Sparrow or NATO Sea Sparrow missiles. RIM-7 Sea Sparrow is a US ship-borne short-range anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapon system, primarily intended for defense against anti-ship missiles. Its range is 19 km.
Close in weapon (CIWS) duties are performed by Phalanx, & RIM-116 Rolling Airframe missile.
Phalanx C I WS has a 4500 /min rate of fire. RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missiles have speed in excess of 2 Mach.
REACTIONS & CONCLUSION:
USS Carl Vinson is not alone, but it leads the U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group One.
It is accompanied by other vessels including an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS Wayne E Meyer (DDG 108). Arleigh Burke class is considered to be one of the most potent destroyer in the world.
The Carl Vinson strike group’s arrival in the South China Sea brings the United States’ carrier presence in the Asia-Pacific up to 2 groups. The USS Ronald Reagan is permanently forward deployed with the U S Seventh Fleet at Yokosuka, Japan.
This move seems to have made the Chinese nervous.
According to Reuters, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a daily news briefing, “China always respects the freedom of navigation and overflight all littoral countries enjoy under international law,”

Carrier Strike Group USS Carl Vinson Patrol In South China Sea Update
SOUTH CHINA SEA (NNS) -- Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 1, including Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 1's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108), and aircraft from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, began routine operations in the South China Sea, Feb. 18.
Prior to their operations in the South China Sea, ships and aircraft from within the strike group conducted training off the islands of Hawaii and Guam to maintain and improve their readiness and develop cohesion as a strike group. The strike group recently enjoyed a port visit to Guam and after departing the Marianas, conducted operations in the Philippine Sea.
"The training completed over the past few weeks has really brought the team together and improved our effectiveness and readiness as a strike group," said Rear Adm. James Kilby, commander, CSG 1. "We are looking forward to demonstrating those capabilities while building upon existing strong relationships with our allies, partners and friends in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region."
Vinson last deployed to the Western-Pacific in 2015 and conducted a bilateral exercise with the Royal Malaysian Navy and Royal Malaysian Air Force in the South China Sea. Vinson first operated in the South China Sea in 1983 and in total, has operated there during 16 previous deployments over its 35 year history.
While deployed, the Carl Vinson CSG will remain under U.S. 3rd Fleet command and control, including beyond the international dateline, which previously divided operational areas of responsibility for 3rd and 7th Fleets. Third Fleet operating forward offers additional options to the Pacific Fleet commander by leveraging the capabilities of 3rd and 7th Fleets. This operational concept allows both numbered fleets to complement one another and provide the foundation of stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
CVW-2 includes the "Black Knights" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 4, the "Blue Hawks" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 78, the "Bounty Hunters" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 2, the "Blue Blasters" of VFA-34, the "Kestrels" of VFA-137, the "Golden Dragons" of VFA-192, the "Black Eagles" of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 113, the "Gauntlets" of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136 and the "Providers" of Fleet Logistic Support Squadron (VRC) 30.

Carrier Strike Group USS Carl Vinson Patrol In South China Sea Update
SOUTH CHINA SEA (NNS) -- Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 1, including Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 1's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108), and aircraft from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, began routine operations in the South China Sea, Feb. 18.
Prior to their operations in the South China Sea, ships and aircraft from within the strike group conducted training off the islands of Hawaii and Guam to maintain and improve their readiness and develop cohesion as a strike group. The strike group recently enjoyed a port visit to Guam and after departing the Marianas, conducted operations in the Philippine Sea.
"The training completed over the past few weeks has really brought the team together and improved our effectiveness and readiness as a strike group," said Rear Adm. James Kilby, commander, CSG 1. "We are looking forward to demonstrating those capabilities while building upon existing strong relationships with our allies, partners and friends in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region."

USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) Carrier Strike Group in Action
USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) is deployed during composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX) 2016 off the coast of Southern California.
Composite Training Unit Exercise, is a rehearsal each US Navy Carrier Strike Group performs before departing for deployment. Each ship and aircraft in the battle group trains in its specialty; COMPTUEX brings ships together to project force as a battle group. COMPTUEX is an intermediate-level battle group exercise designed to forge together the battle group and its components into a fully functional fighting team. COMPTUEX is a critical part in the pre-deployment training cycle, and a prerequisite for the battle group's Joint Task Force Exercise.
COMPTUEX is normally conducted during a two-week to three-week period six to eight weeks before deployment. Successfully completion of COMTPUEX certifies the carrier and its air wing as qualified for open ocean operations. COMPTUEX consists of an 18-day schedule of event driven exercise which the follows with a three-day Final Battle Problem. It is conducted and directed by the training carrier group commander and the focus is to bring together the carrier and its air wing as a working team that can operate in a combat environment, as well as integrating with other assets of the battle group.

INTRODUCTION:
On April 10 the US Navy’s Carl Vinson strike group suddenly changed course from Australia to the Korean Peninsula amid concerns that North Korea could soon conduct its 6th nuclear test or more missile launches.
USS Carl Vinson is one of the most powerful weapons platform in the world, being 3 football fields long, having a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and is capable of carrying more than 60 strike aircrafts.
It must be noted that, USS Carl Vinson is not alone, but it leads the US Navy Carrier Strike Group One.
It is accompanied by other vessels including an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS Wayne E Meyer (DDG 108). Arleigh Burke class is considered to be one of the most potent destroyers in the world.
It is also expected to be accompanied by 1 or 2 submarines, though details are classified.
Let us analyze if USS Carl Vinson aided by the other vessels of the strike group is unsinkable or not.
ATTACK BY AIRCRAFT:
Traditional but this method has been effective. In case of conflict, USS Carl Vinson will certainly be coming under attack from enemy bombers or fighters.
Here Carl Vinson can use its own aircrafts to meet the challenge. Carl Vinson has F 18 Hornets and F 18 Super Hornets to engage enemy aircrafts. It will also deploy F 35 in near future. It will be aided by 1 or 2 Awacs for long distance target detection apart from its own high performance radars.
Aegis air defense system will also provide cover and is capable of mounting strong defense.
It can be safely assumed, the carrier group is capable of strong and aggressive retaliation against attack by aircrafts, and should be able to thwart it.
TORPEDOES FROM SUBMARINES
Modern torpedoes can achieve speeds in excess of 40 knots and operate at depths of 400 m. These can have range of 40 to 50 km, and carry 250 to 500 lb high explosive warhead.
The warhead size may be not so large, but the important thing is that a torpedo will hit a surface vessel below its waterline. Though aircraft carriers and large surface vessels have system of compartments, to seal off parts which is damaged, a single hit in delicate region like propeller area can have a crippling effect.
USS Carl Vinson does have Kevlar protection to minimize damages, but against an enemy submarine, its biggest defense will be its own submarine escort. Every US carrier group has submarines to detect and hunt enemy submarines.
Also, USS Carl Vinson will have cover from P-8 Poseidon. The P-8 is specially designed to conduct anti-submarine warfare and will keep scanning the waters in the vicinity of the aircraft carrier with its specialized equipments.
So it can be concluded that, there will be no easy way to target USS Carl Vinson with torpedo, but will required deployment of multiple submarines with proper strategy.
CRUISE MISSIE:
Cruise missiles are by far the most potent threat to an aircraft carrier like Carl Vinson. Cruise missile tends to be versatile have the ability to be launched from different platforms like surface vessels or land. These also have the range to be launched from far off and are relatively cheaper when compared with an aircraft carrier, hence can be fired in large numbers to saturate the enemy defenses.
In between the cruise missile and the carrier will be US's state of art Aegis Air Defense System.
Here are 3 most lethal weapon in this category and how they are expected to perform:
1. Russian 3M14 Kalibr is equivalent to the American tomahawk cruise missile in many parameters such as range, warhead and propulsion.
It has a 2500 km range, a 450 kg high-explosive warhead and has a speed of 0.8 mach.
The Kalibr is highly maneuverable, but lacks speed, and is expected to be intercepted by the Carrier Group’s Aegis system. Even if 1 to 2 missile is not intercepted, they will not to be able to deliver lethal blow to a super carrier like Carl Vinson.
2. Indo Russian Brahmos is currently the most formidable challenge to a carrier like USS Carl Vinson. It has speed of 2.8 to 3 Mach, range of more that 450 km and is highly maneuverable. Being supersonic, it has almost 16 times the Kinetic energy of a missile like Kalibr or Tomahawk. Brahmos is known to break ships in half in test scenarios. Since it is so fast, the Aegis defense system will find it difficult to intercept, specially if it faces a barrage of 4 to 8 Brahmos .
The result is hard to predict, but can be concluded to being 50 50.
3. Russia’s 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missile is expected to enter production in 2018. The new weapon—which is capable of speeds of around Mach 6 is currently in testing.

INTRODUCTION:
The USS Carl Vinson super carrier has been in news all over and rightly so. The massive carrier is symbol of US clout and projects power far beyond the US mainland. The carrier has an air wing, which is more powerful than the entire air force of most nations. The US has 10 of these Nimitz class carriers.
But is there something in US arsenal, which is even more potent than the mighty USS Carl Vinson? Here we are taking about the Ohio class Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN).
The U S navy has 18 Ohio-class submarines, 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and 4 that were later converted to guided missile submarines (SSGN).
In this video, Defense Updates analyses the two platforms and compares them on the basis of 5 important characteristics.
RANGE/ENDURANCE/SPEED:
Both the USS Carl Vinson and Ohio class are nuclear powered. Being nuclear powered these have practically unlimited range and endurance.
USS Carl Vinson has maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h). Ohio class has a speed of around 20 to 25 knots when submerged.
Hence, none of the two platforms have any distinct advantage over the other in this regard.
EASE OF TARGETING:
The first point required for target any enemy asset is the ability to detect it.
USS Carl Vinson has a displacement of 100000 tonnes, and overall length of 333 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective, it is about 3 football fields long.
The massive structure can be located from far off. This can be targeted with torpedoes, cruise missiles as well as aircrafts from long distances.
The Ohio-class submarines are the largest submarines ever built for the U S Navy having a displacement of around 17000 tonnes. But Ohio class stays beneath the water surface and has vast area of ocean to hide itself. It is also very silent, making it practically impossible to target from long distances.
EASE OF DEPLOYMENT:
Both of these platforms are not deployed alone but have escorts. In case of USS Carl Vinson, it escorted by destroyers, submarines and multitude of other support vessels.
The Ohio class is also generally escorted by single or two attack submarines however it can move alone if required. The purpose of the attack submarines is to protect the Ohio class from enemy submarines, though in case of eventualities, the Ohio class can take out enemy subs with its own torpedoes.
The logistical challenges of deployment of Carl Vinson is massive and much more compared to Ohio class, giving Ohio class a distinct advantage in this regard.
TACTICAL MISSIONS:
Carl Vinson carries a flight group of more than 60 aircraft, including F-18 jet fighters.
These are twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable 4th generation multirole fighter aircrafts.
They have a payload of 7700 kg (17000 lbs), and can carry ground attack weapons as well as air-to-air missiles. Equipped with precision ammunition, these can carry out multitude of tactical mission.
Ohio class does not have this kind of flexibility. The difference is that, Ohio class deploys only weapons like torpedoes and missiles, whereas Carl Vinson deploys fighter jets, which are themselves weapons platform.
DESTRUCTIVE POWER:
USS Carl Vinson doesn’t have any offensive weapons of its own, but relies on the flotilla of aircrafts for offensive. These fighter jets are designed for tactical role.
Carl Vinson doesn’t carry strategic bombers like B-52H and B-2 which are capable of nuke delivery.
The 14 Ballistic Missile Submarines of Ohio class together carry approximately 50% of the total US active inventory of strategic thermonuclear warheads. It has carries 24 Trident Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles which have range of a range of 11000 km.
Each of these missiles has 12 MIRV (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle) nuclear warheads, and each of these warheads have explosive power equivalent of 300 to 475 kilo tonnes of TNT.
CONCLUSION:
USS Carl Vinson and Ohio class ballistic missile submarines have different roles. The USS Carl Vinson shines in tactical capacity, is more versatile but is also more venerable.
In term of pure destructive capacity Ohio class wins hands down, being capable of strategic nuke delivery.
In war scenario, these 2 platforms will work in conjunction and the duo provides the United States with a massive firepower.

TRUMP sends USS Carl Vinson Strike Group to Denuclearize North Korea
The US has rerouted several warships towards the region, after North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan. The Carl Vinson strike group, which includes a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was initially meant to be heading to Australia.

The US has rerouted several warships towards the region, after North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan.
The Carl Vinson strike group, which includes a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was initially meant to be heading to Australia. Its new route is seen as a show of strength by the US, which is also putting pressure on regional powers.
President Trump has spoken to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe about countering threats from Pyongyang.
And Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says China has agreed that action must be taken.

Uma História De Amor, Fanzine
Uma História De Amor
Deixa eu lembrar de você
Da maneira que eu se lembrar
Não tente mais me convencer
O nosso amor não foi tão vulgar
Nunca esperei de você
Nem mesmo podia esperar
Que você pudesse entender
Tudo que eu queria te dar
Um bye-bye, um tchau
É ponto final
Mas quem sabe um dia
Frente a frente
A gente ainda vai se encontrar
Uma história de amor
Não acaba assim
Se não foi bom pra você
Foi tão bom pra mim
Uma história de amor
Não tem sim nem não
E nem se pode explicar
Numa simples canção
O meu coração quer saber
Por que que a gente sonha demais
Se ontem foi romance e prazer
Hoje amanheceu tão fulgaz
Um bye-bye, um tchau
É ponto final
Mas quem sabe um dia
Frente a frente
A gente ainda vai se encontrar
Uma história de amor
Não acaba assim
Se não foi bom pra você
Foi tão bom pra mim
Uma história de amor
Não tem sim nem não
E nem se pode explicar
