A U.S. Navy nuclear aircraft carrier strike group has altered its deployment schedule to be close to Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasion.

The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group is currently in the Mediterranean Sea and could be within range of Ukraine in a short period of time.

Late in December, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the USS Harry S. Truman nuclear aircraft carrier and its escort ships to stay in the Mediterranean Sea instead of proceeding with their schedule that would have them going through the Suez Canal in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf.

Not really. In reality it is nothing more than a minor irritation. ALL Russia has to do is fire off ONE nuclear missile to detonate close to the carrier,and it and everyone on it is toast.

Ships at sea these days are nothing more than sacrificial lambs in wartime. The only possible exceptions are the boomer subs. Anything that float will pretty much be turned into trash on the sea bottom,or smouldering hulks afloat.
