Thats the entire force? Other than the three carriers and the bomber, not very impressive...
Not very impressive? A single air craft carrier is like a small air base. In that pic alone we got 2 of them, and 6 Aegis ships. Then there's that friggin B2!Ronin said:Thats the entire force? Other than the three carriers and the bomber, not very impressive...
All 6 688Is that should be along for the ride.Of course the submarines weren't visible.

Ah, now that you've specified the context, I might agree with you!Ronin said:Yes, make a claim such as that based on one comment. Thats pretty damn audacioius of you, buddy.
Compared to exercises put on display by the Russians and Chinese recently, that is absolutely not impressive.
I'd appreciate it if you kept the insults to a minimum. I don't need to have an argument with someone like you.

They're Arleigh Burke class, right?
Or maybe they wanted to show off to the Chinese how awesome their forces are. In the middle ages, during the height of Venice's commercial and military maritime power, they would invite foreign delegates to their naval shipyards to show them all the ships being built in parallel.WarMachine said:USA doesn't have large wargames anymore, they're not necessary towards modern warfare and it sends messages to foreign nations that America is showing off it's force for some reason. If it was scheduled long ago then i think it was a training excercise pure and simple. If it was very recent then it was meant to scare NK a little bit. America even had chinese delegates at this event, so maybe they're trying to spread influence in east asia at this moment.
What? The North Koreans arent completely retarded they realize our capabilites to defeat there navy, this excersise was most defintely used to intimidate the Chinese. "Hey look, dont try cross the Taiwan straight now ya hear?"China has lots of influence on NK, more than any other country. Maybe US hopes to show china their capabilities in order for them to relay these concerns to NK. The chinese delegates said that this was a positive step for US - China relationships, so i don't think we were trying to intimidate the chinese.
