The Pentagon Request For More Aircraft Carriers And Destroyers To Prevent Russian Aggression In Europe
The Pentagon's regional command for Europe has ordered for more aircraft carrier and destroyers in order to prevent Russia belligerence on the continent.
The US Army general, Curtis Scaparotti, the head of US European Command, on Tuesday, told a Senate committee that he needs two more destroyers to supplement the four that the navy already have in Rota, Spain.
According to John Crady, USNI News reporter, the general said he also wants a "better pace" of carriers and amphibious ships deployed to European waters.
The extra ships would help prevent "an evolving and modernizing Russian fleet", Scaparrotti noted.
The Navy were able to provide the additional vessels. As at early 2019, the US fleet have 287 large warships. In December 2016, Ray Mabus said the fleet needed 355 ships in order to meet the demand from the regional commander.
