The main mission of the American warships located off the coast of Europe is supposedly to counter the escalation of the situation on the continent and contain Russia.. This is the task assigned to the aircraft carrier strike group "George Bush".
Rear Admiral Dennis Veles, commander of this formation, spoke about this in an interview with journalists from the British TV channel Sky News..
His communication with media representatives took place in the hangar of an aircraft carrier, where is around 70 helicopters, airplanes and other aircraft.
The commander of the aircraft carrier strike group "George Bush" said, that his subordinates demonstrate readiness for war every day. It's not hard to guess, what kind of potential adversary did he mean.
This ship, this strike group, our allies - we are ready for anything. We show it every day- said a senior American naval officer.
Despite their bellicose statements, Veles also noted, that he seeks peace and an end to the armed conflict in Ukraine.
We want, for the war to end, to restore stability to the region- Rear Admiral said.
The USS George Bush is a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.. It is part of the US Navy with 2009 of the year. Now the ship is taking part in the exercises of the North Atlantic Alliance "Neptune".
