CNBC News:
The Navy has three carrier strike groups currently in the Pacific where North Korea’s nuclear saber rattling has the U.S. and its Asian allies keeping a close watch on the pariah state.
The last time the Navy operated three carriers together in the Pacific Fleet was back in 2007, and the current show of force comes just before an upcoming state visit to South Korea by President Donald Trump.
“Three carrier groups is certainly a robust force,” said Dean Cheng, a defense expert and senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based conservative think tank.
