US piles on South China Sea pressure with dual carrier strike exercises
Thu, January 13, 2022, 4:30 AMĀ·3 min read

The United States has sent an aircraft carrier strike group and a landing helicopter dock group to the South China Sea where the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong exercised two weeks ago, adding new tension to the hotspot.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson and the Wasp-class USS Essex, as well as their respective escorting vessels, entered the southern waters of the South China Sea on Tuesday evening, according to Beijing-based think tank South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative, which monitors open-source ship tracking information.

The US Navy has yet to announce its plans but the two major attack groups are expected to join forces and probably operate together.
