Le Theodore Roosevelt assure les missions contre L'état islamiquethe USS Theodore Roosevelt and its carrier air wing of Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers and Northrop Grumman E-2D Hawkeyes is currently in the Gulf supporting the air campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS) militant group in Iraq and Syria.
Il va quitter la région mais ne sera pas remplacé avant plusieurs moisThe gigantic boat dubbed “Big Stick”, which can carry as many as 60 fixed-wing aircraft and dozens of maritime helicopters, is set to leave the region this fall and won’t be replaced for several months
L'essex assurera l'intérim avec ses AV-8 B mais ce genre de navire n'est capable de délivrer seulement 12 à 15 % des sorties d'un navire classiqueEven without a carrier in the region, the Navy says the Essex Amphibious Ready Group equipped with Marine AV-8 Harriers will remain through to the end of the year, and the US Air Force is currently leading the fight against ISIS.

US Navy’s goal to have three carriers ‘surge ready’ has been reduced to one in the last
two years because of the budget situatiob
Avant au moyen-orient, un PA était sur zone, un en transit et un dernier pret à déployer dans la zone
De trois pa disponibles à breve échéance dans la région du moyen orient, la navy est passée à un seul faute au budget
