http://www.ocnus.net/artman/publish/article_12279.shtmlThe United States Defence Headquarters, otherwise known as The Pentagon, has explained that the deployment of seven aircraft carriers around the world, including the Gulf of Guinea, is intended to sharpen its capability to defend American interests worldwide against any threat.
Under the operation, codenamed “Summer Pulse ’04,” the seven Carrier Strike Groups will be engaged in scheduled deployments, surge operations, joint and international exercises, and other advanced training and port visits.
“Summer Pulse 04 will be the Navy’s first exercise of its new operational construct, the Fleet Response Plan. FRP is about new ways of operating, training, manning, and maintaining the fleet that results in increased force readiness and the ability to provide significant combat power to the President in response to a national emergency or crisis,” the statement issued Wednesday said.
