The American Wasp-class amphibious fleet arrives in the Mediterranean! Is this goal to evacuate overseas Chinese or to fight?

Recently, according to major media reports, the US "Wasp-class" amphibious formation has arrived in the Mediterranean Sea. This powerful fleet, led by the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, including the USS New York, the Dock Transport Ship, and the USS Oak Hill Dock Landing Ship, is regarded as an important part of US military operations overseas.

It is reported that the US "Wasp-class" amphibious formation that arrived in the Mediterranean Sea this time is one of the US Navy's standard overseas combat modules. The integrity of the formation has been improved compared to the past, and includes not only the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, but also a number of warships such as the USS New York, the dock transport ship and the USS Oak Hill dock landing ship. The combination of these warships will undoubtedly provide strong support for the US military operations in the Mediterranean, for the specific tasks of this fleet, some people believe that in view of the current escalating tensions in the Middle East, the US move may be to strengthen the military presence in the region, if you add the participation of the 26th Naval Expeditionary Force, then the US statement on the issue of evacuation seems a bit far-fetched, such a large fleet is used for the evacuation of overseas Chinese, whether from an economic point of view or a military point of view, All seem too wasteful and extravagant.

In a comprehensive analysis of the comprehensive performance of the entire formation, the quasi-aircraft carrier formation, which is based on the close integration of F35B fighters and Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, has demonstrated air control, naval blockade, and precision strike capabilities against ground targets that are comparable to or even better than those of real aircraft carriers. This unique combination can give Lebanon a significant battlefield advantage when facing a country of relatively limited size and strength, and its powerful transportation and delivery capabilities cannot be ignored, with the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships capable of carrying at least 2,000 combatants, while the New York-class can carry about 750 personnel, plus the support of other ships such as the Oak Hill class, the number of personnel can range from 350 to 450, in total, It is enough to quickly build up a powerful combat force of about 3,000 people in the surrounding area, which presents a new level of combat flexibility and adaptability compared with traditional aircraft carrier formations.

Second, as a typical assault amphibious combat group, the formation includes amphibious assault ships, dock transport ships, dock landing ships, expeditionary forces and other diverse units, this configuration clearly shows that it has the ability to independently carry out various combat missions overseas, this special expeditionary team is not an ordinary army member, but an extremely professional and elite special operations force, which is fundamentally different from other conventional expeditionary teams. The 26th Expeditionary Brigade has incorporated more rigorous special warfare training elements on the basis of the traditional expeditionary team, which tends to intensify the training required for high-intensity operations such as landing operations and psychological warfare. Not only are they proficient in conventional combat techniques, but they also devote 26 weeks a year to honing their special warfare skills.

In terms of attribute characteristics, the 26th Expeditionary Team seems to have similarities with the Marine Corps, but in fact, it has gradually developed into a special force within the Marine Corps, with unique combat capabilities and mission positioning, whether in the face of possible actions in the Lebanese region, or possible military conflicts in the surrounding area, this force can respond quickly and perform various complex combat missions including precise guidance of weapons, information depth reconnaissance, etc., from the perspective of the entire establishment and configuration, This dual nature of the 26th Expeditionary Team and its highly specialized training mode are particularly striking. Because of such a powerful combat group, logistical or support tasks such as "evacuation of overseas Chinese" in the traditional sense are far from being able to cover the scope of their functions, and these tasks are far from the combat mission of this special operations force, and there is hardly any direct connection with them.

The main objective of the military operation remains focused on threatening and suppressing the Zhengzhou island. Due to Lebanon's special geographical environment, its territory takes on a narrow and long shape, which makes it easy for the naval fleet to launch offensives against land targets throughout the country. Thanks to this unique geographical feature, the Navy's attack from the sea has the ability to run through the entire national territory, using fighter jets and other advanced weapons systems to carry out precision strikes, so as to achieve comprehensive coverage of American-made weapons and equipment throughout the entire territory of Lindanton, which we must pay sufficient attention to, and the strong strength of the US Navy is also one of the important factors that cannot be ignored. Recently, the Israeli government has officially approved a comprehensive war plan for the north, aimed at cracking down on the ruling party, and Gallant's strategic intention is to degenerate the enemy into a primitive stage through this campaign, which undoubtedly shows a more powerful attack than the Gaza Strip.

In fact, U.S. support for the conflict is arguably a decisive factor in its escalation. In recent times, the United States has sent large quantities of sophisticated munitions to Israel, including weapons and equipment that have formed a far-reaching strategic deterrent to Zhengzhou Island, including 14,000 GBU-31 bombs weighing 908 kilograms, 6,500 GBU-38 bombs, 1,000 fortress bombs, as well as 3,000 Hailfa missiles and 2,000 GBU-39 bombs. If we look at it in terms of precision strike capabilities, the total number of these weapons is a staggering 26,500.

This batch of equipment contains a number of weapons capable of effectively attacking underground targets, at least enough to ensure a double strike against critical facilities. This means that in any conflict of interest that may arise in the future, these weapons are expected to play a pivotal role in destroying the enemy's pillboxes, tunnels, large weapons and equipment, and assembly command facilities, thereby greatly weakening the opponent's defense and command capabilities, and the deployment of Wasp-class amphibious assault ships undoubtedly indicates that the Middle East region is about to face new tensions.
