US will put more warships in Asia: Panetta

[JanjaWeed]

ha..ha.. more warships to guard BD's land border with India..

India, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan are all wary of Chinese expansionism and welcome the US build up in Asia/Pacific.

From 1945 - 1991, the majority of US overseas forces were stationed in Europe to guard against Soviet threat to Europe.
From 1991 - 2014, they were mostly in the Middle East to fight the Gulf War, GWOT, Iraq War, etc.
From 2014 - onwards, there is a strategic shift to move US forces to build up against the rising power of China and build up the strength of China's neighbors who have an adversarial view of China.

Although this could change should Israel launch an attack on Iran drawing US forces into the Middle East for Another 6-8 Years to contain the Iranian fallout.

correction : US does not need to move it's forces but a single carrier to handle entire Iran.. your over estimation of Iranian navy is way off the mark..

On a second thought, these ACCs were built to safeguard US interests, why the heck they won't move it to wherever they feel like serving their interests ?

Didn't PLAN move their Coast Guard OPVs to safeguard their interest in phillipean territory ? what's the big deal ?

A Single Carrier will be enough to handle Iran but won't be enough to defeat Iran quickly.

US would need around 3 Carrier and their air compliment to establish air superiority and launch hunter killer missions to destroy Iranian missile sites and other military targets while their heavy bombers devastate Iran's nuclear and military facilities.

Iran Airforce is not as advanced as USAF or SA AF.. Iran wont use ballistic missiles, unless its attacked with the same... For most part, i guess it will be a fight between AF and navy of both sides...
