(Washington Composite Television) The Ohio -class nuclear -powered submarine Inner Huada, one of the most powerful U.S. Navy, rarely stops at Guam.Analysts pointed out that the U.S. military's move showed its military forces to allies and enemies when the situation in the Pacific region of India was becoming increasingly tense.
The USS Nevada loaded 20 trident ballistic missiles and dozens of nuclear warheads, which stopped at the Guandao base last Saturday.This is the ballistic missile submarine Georga for six years to reach Guam. Before that, the Pennsylvana Ohio -class nuclear -powered submarine stopped at Guam in 2016.
Guam is located in western Pacific, the largest and southernmost island of the Mariana Islands.
The U.S. Navy issued a statement saying: "This visit to Guam to Hong Kong this time has strengthened the cooperation between the United States and the allies in the region, demonstrating the ability, flexibility and preparation ability of the United States, and the ability to preparation, as well as the printing of printing.The continuous commitment of security and stability of the too regional region. "
Nuclear -powered submarines can run underwater for several months. Only when more than 150 crew members are required to supply the entire ship, the water surface will surface.According to the navy, before the maintenance and supply of this submarine for about a month in Hong Kong, the average of 77 days can be reserved underwater.
The US CNN reported that the movement of the 14 Ohio nuclear -powered submarines of the US Navy has always been military secret.They are located in the Bango Naval Base in Washington and Georgia's Kings Bay Naval Base in Washington.
This very hidden ship unit is known as the most important one of the three major U.S. military forces, the other two are the American native ballistic missile launch well, and a bombers who throw nuclear bombs such as B-2And B-52 strategic bomber.
Analysis believes that on the occasion of the tight relations between China and the United States, the heating up in the Taiwan Strait, and the repeated test of the missiles in North Korea, Washington wants to use the nuclear power submarine to stop the Guandao to send information.
A researcher at the US Think Tank's New American Security Center and former Colonel Schgart said: "Whether it is intentional or unintentionally, this information is: We have the ability to park at your door without knowing that you don't knowThere are more than 100 nuclear warheads, and you may be powerless to this. "
North Korea's ballistic missile submarine plans are still in the preliminary development stage. China may have six ballistic missile submarines, which is not as good as the US Navy.The 2021 military analysis report released by the Washington Think Tank Strategy and International Research Center in August last year pointed out that this type of submarine in China is inferior to the US military in concealment and bullets.
The war and strategic researcher of the King's College of London, Patranano, said that the Nevada is in the Indo -Pacific area not only to send information in politics, and it has also brought about changes in military."The existence of nuclear -powered submarines such as Nevada, especially in terms of training and military exercises, provides an important opportunity for learning how to pursue similar types of ships in the area."The situation of India is tight. Based on regional strategic balance, it is expected that the regional military activities will become more frequent.
