US Navy deploys three aircraft carriers to Pacific

[krzepice1976]

For the first time in three years, the US Navy has mobilised three aircraft carrier strike groups to the Pacific as a part of a provocative military build-up against China. The deployments underscore the strategic shift by the Pentagon from the so-called “war on terror” to great power competition that heightens the danger of conflict between nuclear-armed powers.

Anyone know the ranges of a carrier born fighter. Compared to range of proven Chinese antiship missiles.
F-22 is around 2000miles at speed I believe
Curious what the stand off range is for a carrier strike group now.

I could not on quick search find how many LHD/LHA ships are deployed as well. You never hear much about them, but they carry F35 B's and are larger than most other aircraft carriers outside the US fleet.

Best I can tell, the USS America is there as well.

The DF-26 “the carrier killer” has a reported range of 2500 miles.
