I posted the news earlier today on 3 U.S. carrier strike groups will drill together off the Korean peninsula
This now via Bloomberg with a bit more:
- U.S. Navy said it would carry out strike force drills in the Western Pacific using three aircraft carriers
- the first such exercise in a decade
- "It is a rare opportunity to train with two aircraft carriers together, and even rarer to be able to train with three," U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Adm. Scott Swift said in the statement. "Multiple carrier strike force operations are very complex, and this exercise in the Western Pacific is a strong testament to the U.S. Pacific Fleet's unique ability and ironclad commitment to the continued security and stability of the region."

Gotta say, this makes my weekend plans look pretty tame
