The U.S. Navy has the world's largest aircraft carrier fleet with 11 in service, while China ranks second with three ships launched.
No aircraft carriers from the United States and China were underway in the Western Pacific Ocean as of August 30, with four U.S. 'flat-tops' moored in their home ports of San Diego and Washington.However, Washington's allies Japan and Italy have been conducting a dual-carrier exercise as part of a multinational naval exercise.
The two carriers had sailed from the West Coast for their scheduled deployments in the Pacific Ocean, but were retasked by the Pentagon to increase the American military presence in the Middle East amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, leaving a 'carrier gap' in the Western Pacific Ocean.Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, was asked on Tuesday how long he expected there would not be a carrier strike group in the Indo-Pacific region.
