WWIII - The United States (US) military is mobilizing the second nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan to near the North Korean region (North Korea). The ship USS Ronald Reagan will follow to join the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson who has already arrived in the Korean peninsula.
The movement of the second US aircraft carrier comes amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula after North Korea successfully test fired mid-range ballistic missiles last week.
According to the US Navy, the ship USS Ronald Reagan departed to the Korean Peninsula from the port of origin in Yokosuka, Japan, on Tuesday, May 16, 2017.
Deploying two carriers at once to sail in the same waters was seen as an extraordinary move by the United States. The move comes a few days after Kim Jong-un's ruling regime in North Korea showed signs of significant advances in weapons technology. South Korea is likely to join maritime training if the two US carriers hold a joint maneuver.
"USS Carl Vinson and USS Ronald Reagan are in the Western Pacific, but they are not close to each other," the US military statement quoted by the IB Times as saying (19/5/2017).
The USS Ronald Reagan and USS Carl Vinson are both Nimitz class carriers that run dozens of fighter aircraft on deck. The 1,092 foot USS Ronald Reagan ship carries more than 4,500 crew.
There is no clarity as to how long these two US carriers will be deployed in the territorial waters of the Korean Peninsula. According to a CNN report quoting Pentagon officials, the deployment of the ship USS Ronald Reagan is likely to replace the ship's USS Carl Vinson.
The ship Carl Vinson arrived on the Korean Peninsula in April with his combat fleet of two destroyers with guided missiles and warships with cruise missiles.
