The US is left without aircraft carriers in the Asia-Pacific region for the first time in decades due to redeployment to the Middle East
For the first time in decades, the United States is without aircraft carriers in the Asia-Pacific region due to the redeployment of ships to the Middle East. The aircraft carriers Roosevelt and Lincoln are in the Gulf of Oman, while the Ronald Reagan and Carl Vinson remain in dock on the West Coast.
For the first time in decades, the United States is without aircraft carriers in the Asia-Pacific region (APR) due to a large-scale redeployment of warships to the Middle East. All US Navy assets sent to the region have already arrived and are ready to begin operations.
At the moment, both aircraft carriers, the Roosevelt and Lincoln, are in the Gulf of Oman, as reported by USNI. At the same time, two other aircraft carriers, the Ronald Reagan and Carl Vinson, which are based in the Pacific region, remain in dock on the West Coast of the United States, which effectively leaves the Asia-Pacific region without a permanent American aircraft carrier presence.
Additionally, it was reported that the US destroyer George Washington, based in San Diego, is heading to Japan, but is not expected to arrive at the base until next month. This situation raises questions about the strategic balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region and possible implications for regional security.
