The US Navy is set to launch the world's most advanced aircraft carrier into the Atlantic ocean today - it will house 9000 troops from nine countries as well as 20 ships and 60 aircraft.

Today the US is deploying one of the world's most advanced aircraft carriers to the Atlantic, complete with nuclear reactors and fighter jets.

The USS Gerald R Ford is sailing from Virginia, USA to the Atlantic Ocean and carrying a NATO strike group.

It's unclear whether the launch is linked to the conflict in Ukraine but as the carrier cost the US more than $13billion (£11bn), the country's navy is obviously keen to show it off.

The ship is powered by two nuclear reactors and can carry more than 70 aircraft, including deadly helicopters and jets.

The Atlantic deployment is due to carry 9000 personnel from nine NATO countries, including the US, Canada, Finland, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden.

Vice Admiral Dan Dwyer, Commander of the US 2nd Fleet, said: "The Atlantic is an area of strategic interest. Our primary goal is to contribute to a peaceful, stable, and conflict-free Atlantic region through the combined naval power of our Allies and partners.

"The deployment of USS Gerald R Ford's carrier strike group is the natural progression of our renewed commitment to the Atlantic."

The hypersonic missiles are capable of being shutdown.
The USA just tested the weapon today

U.S has been struggling with its own hypersonic program. They've recorded little succcess unlike China and Russia that have made giant leap in this area. so I don't know how they can build a system that can counter it.

I don't think that man know what hypersonic missiles are, we are talking about a weapon that are extremely fast and could fly as fast as 6,000 kilometers per hour, and can evade interception. The US can not boast of a successful test of hypersonic missile not to talk of having an interceptor.

the ship that don't have hyper Sonic anti-missiles system

Abi wetin go shut am down

Oya send the link to the news of just tested anti-hyper Sonic missiles system

You dont mess with the watch dog...Even though their presido is weak but it military and service chiefs are rugged.

When the alpha male of a lion pride is weak even baby hyenas would harass and humiliate his pride, we all saw what the Taliban did to them and how they were shamefully driven out of Afghanistan, they even fled without their weapons.

New flourishing tumor for Putin left nut sack ..

Just one Russian hypersonic rocket and that ship would would at the bottom of the ocean

And you believe it will be that easy to hit it with a missile? Following that carrier around will be at least 2 submarines and 4 frigates, not to talk of air defense components. $13b, 20 ships, 60 aircraft and 9000 soldiers na joke?

Actually, the US have successfully made 2 tested air launch hypersonic weapons this year....

It is unlikely that a single missile can sink the ship. Although a missile can knock it out of action.

A torpedo with massive warheads will likely sink it but not a missile (hypersonic or not).

Well, many dictatorial regimes felt they had aces up their sleeves till US rained that fire on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. USSR got bitter afterwards. US have weapons that are 50 years into the future. They will be fine.

Hahahahahahahahaaaaa

Your ignorance knows no boundaries!

Russia laughing at you...

Dalil8:
Just one strike from a Zmeevik missile and poof, all 9000 troops aboard are dead.

Not a smart decision in my opinion.

Lol smart man, I heard you are the general in charge of Russia and China forces at the same time. Even USA military pays you for military consulting.

Those submarines and frigates are useless when it has to do with hypersonic missiles, that ship is also much vulnerable to hypersonic missile as long as it doesn't have anti missile interceptor.

A single Hypersonic missile can and would destroy that aircraft carrier.
