Yes, that too. I'll amend my statement to "a little tiny eansy weenie bit misleading".
That's a US aircraft carrier that sails all over the western Pacific, it isn't permanently in Japan. And there's already tons of US missiles in Japan at the US military bases. >

Yeah, I spent 5 years as part of the West Coast Navy. I know the Reagan gets underway. Hence the words "a little". >
