David Burke at the British
newspaper the Daily Mail offers a piece on the U.S. naval show of force off the
coast of North Korea.
Two US warships are carrying out a dramatic
show of force close to North Korea's borders in the wake of missile launches by
despot Kim Jong-un.
The huge aircraft carriers,
seen together for the first time, have joined with Japan's maritime self
defense force for drills in the Sea of Japan.
It comes days after the US
Pacific Command reiterated its 'ironclad commitment' to protecting allies in
South Korea in Japan following the launch of a short-range ballistic missile by
Kim's regime.

Tim,
ReplyDeleteNot sure. I'd have to do some research and contact a couple of people. Diego Garcia, Guam? The U.S. Navy still pulls into Subic Bay (My favorite place when I was a young sailor...)
