美國海軍持續在中東維持航空母艦部署,以支援對伊朗的海上封鎖行動。
美國海軍「羅斯福號」(USS Theodore Roosevelt)航艦11月4日與澳洲海軍補給艦「堅定號」(HMAS Stalwart)並航,預計續赴中東。
美國海軍可能在伊朗周邊短暫出現3艘核動力航空母艦同時部署的局面!「羅斯福號」(USS Theodore Roosevelt)航艦打擊群6日抵達新加坡,結束港口停靠後,預計穿越麻六甲海峽、進入印度洋,前往中東支援對伊朗海上封鎖。屆時若「華盛頓號」(USS George Washington)及「布希號」(USS George H.W. Bush)仍在當地,3艘美軍航艦便可能短暫同時部署。
軍事網站《Army Recognition》8日報導,羅斯福號打擊群由航艦、巡洋艦「喬辛號」(USS Chosin)及兩艘伯克級飛彈驅逐艦組成,並搭載第11艦載航空聯隊(Carrier Air Wing 11),這支打擊群在新加坡停靠後,預計繼續前往中東,接替自8月19日起在當地部署的華盛頓號。
目前在中東活動的另外兩艘航艦,分別是華盛頓號與布希號。布希號打擊群今年4月抵達中東,支援美軍對伊朗實施海上封鎖。若羅斯福號在華盛頓號離開前抵達,當地便可能短暫出現3艘航艦同時部署的局面。
換防時間未定 三航艦同時部署仍有變數
不過,三艘航艦是否會同時部署,目前尚未確定。羅斯福號此行原本就是接替華盛頓號,兩艘航艦交接時間是否重疊,以及華盛頓號離開後,美軍是否仍會維持三航艦部署,都還不明朗。美國海軍學會新聞網(USNI News)指出,美軍過去曾在新航艦抵達後,讓原本部署的航艦繼續留在中東一段時間,因此羅斯福號與華盛頓號短暫同時部署的可能性仍存在。
三個航艦打擊群若同時在區域內活動,美軍可運用的艦載航空兵力及護航艦艇將增加。艦載F/A-18E/F「超級大黃蜂」(Super Hornet)戰機可執行空中巡邏、護航及打擊任務;EA-18G「咆哮者」(Growler)電子作戰機可支援電子攻擊,E-2D「先進鷹眼」(Advanced Hawkeye)預警機則負責空中監視及指揮管制。
航艦本身並不直接執行海上封鎖。攔查、管制及攔截船隻,仍須由執行任務的水面艦艇及相關人員負責;航艦搭載的航空聯隊則可提供空中監視、護衛及支援。三個航艦打擊群同時部署,也不代表所有艦載機都能持續投入任務。
美軍長時間維持中東部署,還受到維修、補給、燃料及彈藥等因素限制。美國海軍「林肯號」(USS Abraham Lincoln)今年10月結束長達322天的部署,返抵聖地牙哥;這段部署期間,林肯號曾有265天未進行港口停靠。

On September 24, 2026, Indonesia officially took over the retired Italian aircraft carrier "Garibaldi" and named it "Srivijaya", becoming the second country in Southeast Asia to own an aircraft carrier. This move highlights its attempt to strengthen its ocean deployment, enhance its national prestige, and cope with strategic competition in the South China Sea and the Indo-Pacific.
The "Red Eagle" aerobatic demonstration team of the Air Force Aviation University flew over Changchun Blue Sky Park in a formation of eight aircraft to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force. At about 10 o'clock that day, the performance team changed the formation of red eagle, war eagle and sword and passed through the field three times, and red, yellow and blue smoke was pulled out from the tail of the aircraft. Changchun City will hold the "Flyers Wingspan Changchun" aviation cultural theme event at the same time, including paramotor formation performances, UAV formation light shows, fireworks shows, etc. Citizens and tourists can immersively experience the growth path of pilots and visit real general aviation aircraft. Retired Air Force special-class and first-class pilots will also be present to communicate with the audience.

The People's Liberation Army of China has recently assembled more than a hundred naval and coast guard vessels in the Western Pacific, and the U.S. think tank ISW has concluded that it may conduct an unannounced large-scale "silent military exercise." It is less than a month before the nine-in-one election on November 28, which has attracted attention. Looking back at the 60 days before each election from 2016 to 2024, the CCP’s military pressure took different forms, including aircraft crossing the Taiwan Strait, intensive military aircraft activities, airborne balloons, and unannounced fleet deployments. However, not every election increased military pressure, and there is currently no sufficient evidence to prove that military activities directly target the election.

The U.S. Air Force held a groundbreaking ceremony on November 5 at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, spending $78 million to build a mission planning center to prepare for the future deployment of B-21 "Raider" stealth bombers. Dyess will become the third major B-21 operating base, joining Ellsworth, South Dakota, and Whiteman, Missouri.

More than 100 Chinese vessels have been deployed in the western Pacific and South China Sea, prompting analyst questions about whether Beijing is rehearsing operations to block US and allied intervention in a Taiwan conflict, though no large-scale drill has been announced.

On the day of the "118 Coast Patrol Day", the Coast Guard's Third Coast Patrol Team handled four cases in succession, including fishing violations, rescue of people falling overboard, search and rescue of missing people, and buoyancy failure and stranding, demonstrating the coast patrol's ability to protect maritime security around the clock.
