USS Abraham Lincoln Faces Iran: Who Guards the Pacific Void?

Описание: ⚓ USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN: The Pacific Void Crisis - Why Moving One Carrier Created a Strategic Nightmare

January 2026. The USS Abraham Lincoln receives emergency orders: deploy to the Strait of Hormuz immediately. Within 72 hours, 100,000 tons of American military power races across the Indian Ocean toward Iran. But here's what nobody in Washington wants to discuss: the Lincoln was stationed in the Western Pacific, watching the Taiwan Strait as a warning to Beijing. The moment it departed, it created a void—a gap in Pacific defense that China immediately noticed. This is the story of America's most dangerous strategic gamble in 30 years: defending the Strait of Hormuz while leaving Taiwan vulnerable, and why one carrier can't be in two places at once.
