The Pentagon may leave the carrier group in the Mediterranean

82
The US Navy aircraft carrier "Harry Truman" may remain in the Mediterranean to "contain" Russia, and as a reminder to Assad of the inadmissibility of the use of chemical weapons, reports RIA News Defense News magazine post.





A final decision has not yet been made, but it would be “a response to Russia's actions in the region and would correspond to the new National Security Strategy,” the publication writes citing sources.

The magazine also emphasizes that Harry Truman, who heads the carrier group, may once again remind the Syrian leader Bashar Assad of warning the American President Donald Trump that “the continued use of chemical weapons against civilians in Syria will lead to new shelling. "

According to sources, the Pentagon is considering the possibility of leaving the ship group in the region, even though this may disrupt the order of rotation of aircraft carriers in the Middle East. It is believed that the fight against the “challenges emerging from Russia” in the Mediterranean is a more important task.

Recall, April 11 US Navy strike group led by the aircraft carrier "Harry Truman" went from Norfolk (Virginia) to the Middle East to attack Syria.

      So there are their Virginia. Plus, one of the partners also sent his own.

      But if on an ongoing basis - then the Black Sea Fleet has problems with the allocation of forces for typical tracking. There only 4 of the ship can it before the end of the year (this is if Ladny does not leave to the right) - two frigates + Savvy and Inquisitive. Okay to join in after the repair at the end of the year. In the summer, another frigate should come.

      But now all the BSF BSFs are at 100% in BS. Both frigates and both guard. Plus, the Wise is in a hurry to help.

        Based on how unstable and "military active" the Mediterranean region has become thanks to the activities of the United States and its vassals, the idea is very logical. Apparently, military conflicts there will only intensify and new ones will arise.

          So it would be immediately in the "Washington Regional Committee" and "chewed"! And then Trump stealthily everything "mumbles" and "mumbles" about some interests there US national security in BV due to the alleged presence of Assad's chemical weapons!

          Trump! Where is the United States geographically - and where is the ATS with its Assad? !!! fool Surely, many Americans themselves do not even know about it! No. And what does the US Armed Forces and the US Navy flotilla in the Mediterranean really do there? angry

          This is a constant reminder of Russia about how much we at the Black Sea Fleet (also the SM theater) lack at least one URO cruiser, a pair of URO destroyers and 3-5 URO-PVO frigates in order to keep at least Kuzyu there.
          Of course, we still need a division called the Syrian Express, but not from the old BDKs, but from the dock ships, that is, from the vessels capable of transporting aircraft such as front-mounted bombers (without planes). All this under the assumption that ALL overseas allied territories will provide us with naval and anti-aircraft missiles, so that even in this Russia does not resemble US aircraft carriers of the colonial times, bearing in mind that today the AUG is above all excellent and very sweet in military in the political sense, a target whose defeat is capable of any nation (especially American schizoid!) lead into a funeral mood for very long periods of time (remember the Vietnamese syndrome of the 70-80s in the USA)

        hi For the translation sorry:
        Quick Facts:
        - The HSTCSG consists of a Nimitz USS Harry S. Truman class aircraft carrier (CVN 75); ticonderoga-class missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60); Arly Burke-class missile destroyers USS Farragut (DDG 99), USS Forrest Sherman (DDG 98), USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) and USS arleigh Burke (DDG 51), along with aircraft carrier emboked 8, (CVW) 1 and destroyer squadron ( DESRON) 28. Aircraft squadrons include a strike fighter squadron (VFA) 11; VFA-81; VFA-136; VFA-211; electronic attack squadron (VAQ) 137; Early Warning Squadron (WWA) 126; Helicopter Marine Squadron strike (HSM) 72; Helicopter Naval Combat Squadron (HSC) 11; and a squadron of the Fleet’s Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40. The German Saxe-class frigate FGS Hessen (f 221) also operates as part of the strike group at the initial deployment stage. Arly Burke class destroyers USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109) and Sullivans USS (DDG 68) will be deployed and attached to the strike group later.
        “Truman left the Norfolk Naval Station on April 11 for a regular scheduled deployment.” hi

        Our marine grouping, in comparison with the grouping of mattresses and allies, is slightly in different weight categories. So now the problems are being revealed when the fleet was financed and built on a residual basis, and not priority.
        If you imagine for a second that the USSR would do it, now there were 15 submarines in our area, a couple of cruisers with destroyers, and 10 frigates ... while there would be an order of magnitude more aviation than there are now.

        A good and rare opportunity for the Russian Navy to practice and conduct exercises directly in the vicinity of potential targets. And then the American AUG are embarrassed to go into the Black Sea and the North Seas. This is even better than the latest “smart” cruise missiles “donated” to us in Syria.

      Well, just a simulator. Rather cat and mouse
      To combat enemy submarines, the aircraft carrier strike group includes the anti-submarine defense division, includes an anti-submarine defense helicopter carrier (anti-submarine defense), and a group of support ships - up to 6-8 destroyers or patrol ships, also with means for detecting and suppressing enemy submarines.

          Yes, this is all clear, even the fact that the aircraft carrier will primarily be used as headquarters. I question its usefulness in the fight against Syria, and I don’t think that they will use aviation directly, shot down missiles are one thing, dead pilots are another.
          Yeah, well, Syria lacks a couple of three submarines, even diesel, to other countries this is science. For the same Iran, for example, in their place I would order a few from us right now.

              More importantly (despite the low development of railway in Syria) - Rastan blocks railway communication on the only branch Damascus-Homs-Hama-Aleppo. Which is already cleaned and safe in the most important area of ​​Hama Aleppo.

      It is precisely these “successes” that make the mattresses drive their vessels to the shores of Syria and come up with reasons like a “chemical attack” for striking Assad. They cannot openly say that they are beating in Syria in revenge for the defeat of terrorists. Now, no matter how many ships they catch in Middle-earth, this only leads to a situation that unambiguously increases the risk for the ship group itself. Closely becomes there.

      Especially taking into account the vastness of Russian interests and allied capabilities and demands in this region.

        The Turks here act as mediators between the Russian Federation and Iran, Iran has too big ambitions, Turkey is holding back Iran. At the same time, Iran does not allow the Turks to penetrate far into this conflict, in the sum of all the contradictions, the Russian Federation, Iran, Turkey keep a good bridgehead in Syria, preventing the allies of the states from getting into it with great forces. The only one who is aloof is Israel, it interferes with both, but when they turn to it, it goes into the shadows, they say we mustache. Israel is attracting Iran through its conflict, the states of Iran are least of all needed there, because others climb over Iran there, and the states need complete freedom of action in Syria. lol

    An aircraft carrier (one) for Syrian air defense is not too scary. More dangerous are his escort ships with cruise missiles. A lot of them are there. A massive blow of such intensity may not be able to withstand ... But there is nothing to cover them with. Maybe the four MiG-31 with "Daggers"? Relocate to Hmeimim?

    Do you seriously think that Varshavyanka will be able to do something with AUG? Chase him? Save your caps for a better time.
    There are fifty of them or more. 2-3 maximum. For an AUG order, this is not a problem. Moreover, the aircraft carrier’s speed is 30+ knots, and the maximum speed of 636 project boats is 20 knots. And hear them oh how far

    What is the use of an aircraft carrier? His planes have no long-range cruise missiles. Snooping around in Syria will be even worse than with the Tamagavkas. And for our submarines an excellent goal, it’s hard to miss such a fool.

    Do you need a cruise missile with a range of 980 km? Suspended under deck F / A-18 in two pieces. Plus "Axes" on destroyers? So is there any sense or not?

    I question its usefulness in the fight against Syria, and I don’t think that they will directly use aviation, shot down missiles are one thing, dead pilots are completely different.

    They both had bases in the SPM and remained. With all the infrastructure. And the carriers at the visit to the SPM did not hang out on barrels in the open sea, but were in bases. so there’s nothing extra overhead in spending. The only thing they will have to revise is the rotation schedule of aircraft carriers.

    US Navy aircraft carrier Harry Truman may remain in the Mediterranean ...
    FOREVER AND EVER ! They went on their last trip and will never return to their native shores. One way or another, but it will happen soon. This could have happened before. Recall 1999:
    Having received the order, Lyachin could well defeat the 6th US fleet. The armament of the boat of the 949th project, which was the "Kursk", are 24 cruise missiles of the type "Granite". They are able to break through any ship’s air defense. Yes, and torpedoes with nuclear warheads. When our newest boat arrived in the Mediterranean Sea, the carrier groups of the USA and NATO were just being changed there. One went to her base in Norfolk, the other just arrived. The task was to detect and track both the first group and the second. The crew of the Kursk found them. And the Lyachinsky even conditionally fired five rockets: three in one group, two in the other. In reality, the aircraft carriers that bombed Serbia at that time could be sunk.
