A U.S. carrier strike group is operating off the Korean Peninsula for the first time in years, the Navy confirmed to The Hill.
Lt. Mark Langford, a U.S. Navy spokesperson, said in an emailed statement that the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is in the Sea of Japan conducting bilateral operations with Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Langford did not provide a timeline for when the carrier strike group arrived or for when it would leave.
“Routine bilateral operations like this one reassure our allies and partners of the U.S. commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific,” Langford said. “Our training enhances the credibility of conventional deterrence by demonstrating the strength of our bilateral partnerships.”
