Map Shows US and China's Aircraft Carriers in Pacific This Week
Story by Ryan Chan • 7h


Three U.S. aircraft carriers were underway in the Pacific Ocean this week, with one beginning a voyage to Japan as it shifts its home port from the West Coast to the Asian nation, joining U.S. forward-deployed military forces there.

Elsewhere, two aircraft carriers from China were operating in the South China Sea at the same time. Another Chinese aircraft carrier, which has yet to enter into service, remained at a shipyard following sea trials last month.
 
A Japanese vessel currently undergoing conversion into a light aircraft carrier remained on the U.S. West Coast for flight testing with fighter jets.

Newsweek's weekly update maps aircraft carrier movements in the strategic Indo-Pacific region. As of October 18, the locations of at least nine aircraft carriers were publicly available via military disclosures or open-source satellite imagery. The U.S. has the world's largest aircraft carrier fleet with 11 in service. China ranks second with three ships.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I find it curious the administration will release military information to our enemies but refuse to disclose how many terrorists are in the country. :shrug:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

It's easier to keep a head count and the whereabouts of every US serviceman and woman than it is to come up with how many illegals, what group they are affiliated with, and where they went.  Besides the terrorists and other illegals only get tracked (if they want to) by their 'magic card' expenditures...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
