2 US aircraft carriers deployed in Western Pacific
The US Navy says it is deploying 2 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific.
The US Navy's 7th Fleet announced on Monday that the 2 carriers are the USS George Washington, based in Yokosuka near Tokyo, and the USS John C Stennis based on the US west coast.
It said the carriers are being accompanied by other warships including vessels equipped with the Aegis air defense system.
The US fleet said the 2 aircraft carriers provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interest of the United States and its allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region.
Last week, China put its 1st aircraft carrier into service in the area. Chinese government vessels have also entered Japanese waters near the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
Military analysts say it is unusual for the US navy to deploy 2 aircraft carriers simultaneously in the Western Pacific and it is believed that the navy is trying to keep the Chinese move in check.
