On Monday, April 17, Yonhap, South Korea’s largest news agency, reported that the United States was sending two more aircraft carriers to the Korean Peninsula in addition to the USS Carl Vinson. This “news” was reported worldwide by both large media outlets and the typical click-bait media outlets. American Military News spoke to a Navy official close to the situation, who said on condition of anonymity that the rumors that two more aircraft carriers, specifically the USS Reagan and the USS Nimitz, were headed to the Korean peninsula were completely unfounded and entirely untrue.
