(Washington Comprehensive) U.S. aircraft carrier commander emphasized that the US navy training is well -trained and US aircraft carriers have the ability to perform tasks in conflicts with China.
Some experts believe that China's Dongfeng-21 missiles and other "aircraft carrier killers" will crack down on US aircraft carriers' military strength in the Western Pacific.In response, Saldeelo, the commander of the Calvinson aircraft carrier in the United States, emphasized that he had "absolute confidence" in the American aircraft carrier strike group.
Saldeelo told reporters on Wednesday (January 31): "Our naval training is well -trained and has the ability to act in complex and controversial areas.Can execute tasks and cause fatal blows. "
He showed that there was absolute confidence in the American aircraft carrier's strike group to effectively and safely perform the task. Even in the face of Chinese missiles, the aircraft carrier strike group can fully display the US military forces.
The aircraft carrier combat group is a combat formation headed by the ship, which is usually composed of destroyers, cruisers and submarines to provide capabilities such as air defense, intelligence collection, and anti -submarine operations.
Experts believe that although the deployment of aircraft carriers can show that the U.S. military is ready to be in a threat of China and North Korea during the peace period, if the conflict broke out, the U.S. military may not be able to resist the missiles of the PLA.China Dongfeng-21 missiles aim to prevent US ships from approaching the Western Pacific front.
Cloon, Chairman of the Asia Pacific Security Institute of Washington Think Tank, said that during the war, the Chinese Rockets may try to sink the ship that operates in the so -called second island chain.This island chain extends from the Japanese Ogasawara Islands and Guam to Papua New Guinea.
The Pentagon's annual report on China's military power recognized the threat of the Chinese Dongfeng-21 missile in the annual report of China, and warned that these missiles have the ability to accurately strike long range from the Western Pacific ship from mainland China.
