The US had a show of strength this summer by conducting war games with 7 carrier groups in the pacific. A first for the US with so many carriers. We can still project military power.

This summer was definately a show of force, but all 7 carriers weren't in the Pacific, in fact only 2 or 3 were. There were also some in the Atlantic, the Gulf, and possibly the Mediterranean. The "Seven Carriers sent into Pacific" was put in one article, and as usual the idiots in the media all just printed the same thing without checking it out. It was later realized what had happened, and later articles get it right. I was on a naval base as an intern this summer, and alot of people there were pretty amused by just how easy it is for one incorrect article to spread.
