Ready to be beaten? U.S. Aircraft Carrier Exercises "Massive War Damage" in South China Sea

The recent frequent movements of the US aircraft carrier "Carl Vincent" in the South China Sea, especially its series of exercises with the Japanese helicopter carrier "Kaga" in the South China Sea, are considered by the outside world to be deliberately provoking China.

Of course, the US side is well aware of the possible consequences of such provocations.

The Carl Vinson posted a set of photos on social media on November 1, accompanied by a simple caption: "Sailors on the USS Carl Vinson strike group participated in a first-class combat readiness and mass casualty exercise during their routine mission in the South China Sea. ”

According to the official version of the "Carl Vinson", the relevant exercises involved firefighting and medical assistance throughout the ship. Usually, such subjects belong to the emergency response of aircraft carriers when they are attacked and damaged, and as for why this aircraft carrier needs to practice "large-scale war damage exercises" in the South China Sea, the US Navy, which is not said on the lips, should know it.

The U.S. "Navy Times" said that previous reports by the Pentagon and U.S. think tanks believe that with the rapid development of China's naval and air forces and land-based long-range strike firepower, as well as the large-scale construction of artificial islands and reefs in the South China Sea, if the U.S. Navy has armed conflict with China in the South China Sea, the consequences are not optimistic.

The South China Sea Strategic Situational Awareness Platform said that on October 31, satellite photos captured images of the US Navy's aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson", the "Jackson" littoral combat ship and the Japanese helicopter carrier "Kaga" in the northeast waters of the Natuna Islands, carrying out joint operations in the South China Sea. It is reported that the United States and Japan will carry out a series of maritime security operations in the South China Sea, including flight training, sea-air joint combat training, maritime refueling, and maritime strike exercises. A few days ago, the "Carl Vinson" also conducted a special night fighter take-off and landing exercise.

It is worth noting that this also proves from another aspect that the threat of US aircraft carriers to China does not stay on paper, but has begun to prepare for war seriously.

However, according to a report on the website of the U.S. Naval Association on November 1, the current "Carl Vinson" has left the South China Sea and entered the Indian Ocean. Whether it will make a new trick there, let's wait and see.
