Last week Red Smith first reported there were certain naval units that were doing exercises which resembled speed exercises designed to run a carrier group through a ‘strait’. Sources would not identify the strait but it was speculated to be the Taiwan Strait. Today CNN is reporting the carrier led strike group led by the USS Vinson is now going to the Korean Peninsula.
(CNN)A US aircraft carrier-led strike group is headed toward the Western Pacific Ocean near the Korean Peninsula, a US defense official confirmed to CNN.
Adm. Harry Harris, the commander of U.S. Pacific Command, directed the USS Carl Vinson strike group to sail north to the Western Pacific after departing Singapore on Saturday, Pacific Command announced.
