US Sixth Fleet flagship sent to the Black Sea "for NATO operations"

Sixth Command fleet The US Navy has deployed its flagship command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) into the Black Sea. As reported on the official Twitter page of the Sixth Fleet, the task of the ship will be to conduct NATO operations in the region.

According to the entry, the flagship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) is sent to the Black Sea to "work with NATO partners and allies in the region." Thus, the United States will once again demonstrate its support for Ukraine and Georgia, since the Americans no longer have partners in this region, there are only NATO allies.

While nothing is known about the plans of the ship, perhaps it will visit Odessa and Batumi, this is not the first visit for the crew to the Black Sea, Mount Whitney participated in the joint exercises of the United States and Ukraine Sea Breese-2018 together with the destroyer USS Porter (DDG 78). By the way, Porter and this time together with Mount Whitney will "show support", he is also sent to the Black Sea. And in 2019, USS Mount Whitney visited the Baltic, he entered the Baltic Sea along with the Canadian frigate St. Johns, where he joined the NATO exercise BALTOPS 2019 as a command ship.

Earlier in the command of the Sixth Fleet reported that on board the command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) will be officers from the command of the fleet and the command of strike forces and support of the combined naval forces of NATO (STRIKFORNATO).

Let us remind you that all US and NATO ships entering the Black Sea are taken under constant supervision of the forces and assets of the Black Sea Fleet.

Our sailors will practice on it ... we ought to record his acoustic portrait not to forget ... who knows, maybe somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean a torpedo with this portrait in its memory will be waiting for him.

The main thing is not to start a provocation by entering Russian waters.

They escalate, escalate the situation, scoundrels.

The floating command post is a very fat target for provocations. On such a brigade of marines, you can land, and not just drive from the AK-630 across the sea. If it is true they say that our forces have pulled up their forces to the republics, then the Americans went to "watch a movie". They will definitely not interfere, and that the scoundrels are an axiom.

For this ship, VIKA writes that it is the most perfect, but not young either. Its permanent place is Mediterranean, so its acoustic "picture" should have been in the Navy's databases for a long time.
But it is possible, perhaps necessary, to follow him in the Black Sea. Perhaps he did not come alone, but brought a submarine with him, also for practice in the Black Sea.

[tralflot1832]

If he brought a submarine and we drown her, the Americans will not even admit that she was there. Montreux does not allow submarines. Only the countries of the Black Sea region.

[PROXOR]

The Black Sea is deep only in the middle. Closer to the coastline it is shallow for multipurpose nuclear submarines. They will note how to drink to give. Moreover, the Varshavyanki will obviously be diving there.

How will they train, haven't they trained before? It sounds like when a gun is put to your head, and you are like "well, now I'm going to practice how to get out of a difficult situation!"
They walk like at home, make their own puddle out of the Black Sea. How long have our ships been in the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of the United States?

I like this:

... reported on the official Twitter page of the Sixth Fleet ...

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation should have created pages on Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki.

Can you imagine how many users there will immediately register next ?? !!!
Half the world.

[tralflot1832]

With a move of 23 knots, it will not run far even if the hull is cleaned from Mediterranean shells.

The Black Sea is being shot through by our missiles ... where to run then?
The Americans, as always, decided to play on our nerves ... but in vain.

Yes, they are demonstrating their determination, after the Afghan drain, they can only use the fleet. However, I do not exclude the possibility of helping the ukrovermacht in terms of managing operations and providing intelligence against the Donbass.

Is the flagship planning to enter Sevastopol? Strange, they also consider the Crimea Ukrainian and Ukrainian territorial waters ...

"You are dumb!" (at least on the American flagship)

[Cowbra]

Uh-huh, they write, the last time the calculation was that ours would again go to the bulk, for this reason they poured dofig Marines onto the destroyer. But this is a double-edged sword, and the flagship is a tasty thing, so that OUR run through it. First - the Marines, then not the Marines ... More than one cigarette butt will not be so substituted. Otherwise, they will invite you to visit the bay ... In the meantime, they will study the toilet bowls.

[donavi49]

By the way, but I wonder how they would have acted if Burke, what destroyer of European partners, under meter-long national and NATO flags, level flag signals - I do not violate anything, acting at the invitation of the side, would have blatantly flooded into Sevas?

They would semaphore: "what is such an invitation? Which side? Prepare the documents for verification!" )))

The border guards will work as it should and will confiscate any vessel along with the team.

Traditionally, I think.

A pair of Project 1135 is still serving in the Black Sea Fleet.

[rotmistr60]

maybe he will visit Odessa and Batumi

To support the Ukrainian and Georgian trousers, this simply needs to be done and it is better first of all until the fuse of the American sailors is gone.

Well, sho ... he will come and command, whatever.

[sailor roman]

There are few ships left in the US Navy capable of solving combat missions. Of the 11 aircraft carriers in service, one is "lame" on one leg and mostly at anchor in Japanese ports. Out of 22 cruisers, 69 destroyers, 18 coastal zone ships, 71 submarines in service, with manned crews, only 47 units are ready for solving tasks as intended. So they are forced to send "Galosha" to support the "pants" and create the appearance of their power.

Our Navy would have their problems ...

The United States with B-1 recently staged a circus, like they sunk our entire fleet, now it's time for us to win back.

When did these nimble guys manage to do that? Nothing like in my wet dreams.

I don't think "nothing more." IMHO, the phenomenon, namely the command ship, is directly related to the escalation of the situation in the Donbass by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

the second ship of the US Navy entered the Black Sea.
