U.S. Navy in nuclear show of force to Russia By George Allison - June 27, 20240
U.S. Navy in nuclear show of force to Russia
By: George Allison - UK Defence Journal - June 27, 20240 Re: https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/u-s-...rce-to-russia/ [NOTE Do they know something we need to consider?} Photo link: https://ukdj.imgix.net/2024/06/GQ68P...e=td_1021x580& The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60) and the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine USS Tennessee (SSBN 734) conducted a rare joint operation in the Norwegian Sea on June 23, 2024. This significant naval exercise, part of a broader show of force, included support from a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft and an E-6B Mercury, often referred to as the “Doomsday Plane.” The USS Tennessee’s participation is particularly noteworthy, as ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) rarely surface during operations. This visible presence sends a powerful message of deterrence to Russia and demonstrates the US Navy’s multi-domain readiness and capability to project power across different theatres. Headquartered in Naples, Italy, Naval Forces Europe-Africa (NAVEUR-NAVAF) operates US naval forces within the US European Command (USEUCOM) and US Africa Command (USAFRICOM) areas of responsibility. The U.S. Sixth Fleet, permanently assigned to NAVEUR-NAVAF, employs maritime forces across the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, ensuring stability and security in the region.

Russia's in a corner and his Chinese & North Korea bud's may be ready to back him up sooner or later. And it could get ugly pretty quick. - Let's hope it doesn't happen but ya just never know! - Boats
