@hissgoescobra Smells like an unnamed flight as a deflection to me. Great propaganda when the crew member is picked up after 'evading' for a week. Good diversion from an Isfahan strike also.
1/ Denmark was preparing to fight the United States over Greenland, according to Scandinavian news reports. Around 1,000 Danish troops and a frigate with anti-ship and anti-aircraft capabilities are being sent to Greenland, with standing orders to fight invading forces. ⬇️
When the U.S. deploys an aircraft carrier like USS Abraham Lincoln, it’s not “sending a ship.”
It’s deploying a Carrier Strike Group -- a mobile, self-contained joint combat force.
What that actually includes as a minimum👇
• ~5,000 sailors on the carrier + air wing
• ~1,500–2,000 sailors across cruisers, destroyers & logistics ships
• The aircraft carrier (floating, nuclear-powered air base)
• 65–75 aircraft (fighters, EW, AEW, helicopters)
• 1 guided-missile cruiser, usually a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, (air & missile defense commander)
• 2–3 guided-missile destroyers, usually Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, (Anti-submarine warfare, Ballistic missile defense, strike capability)
• Nuclear attack submarine (ISR & strike...unannounced locations)
• Logistics ships enabling months at sea
This means:
– Air dominance without host-nation bases.
– Immediate strike and escalation control.
– Layered defense against air, missile, surface, and subsurface threats.
A Carrier Strike Group is not symbolism. It is sovereign, mobile combat power....ready on arrival.
