The U.S. sent a supercarrier to the Caribbean - Here’s why

الوصف:

The U.S. just sent its newest and most powerful aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, to the Caribbean. Officially, it is being sent to fight drug traffickers. But you don’t move a $13,000,000,000 supercarrier halfway across the world just to chase speedboats. This deployment adds one of America’s most advanced carrier strike groups to a region already packed with bombers, Marines, and destroyers. It’s a show of power, deterrence, and reach - right on the doorstep of Venezuela. In this video, we break down what a Carrier Strike Group actually is, what it can do, and why the Navy keeps proving, over and over, that carriers still matter.
