Japanese TV reporters (FNN) today captured photo and video images of single seater F/A 18-E "Super Hornet", carrier based EC-2 Hawkeye surveillance craft and USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63)mobilization and aired the reports in evening Japanese TV. This is all seen as further analysis of the DPRK nuke testing and in preparation for possible action against North Korea. The Japanese Self Defense Forces are also cooperating with the United States in preparation for the eventual forced halting of DPRK ships destined for and leaving North Korea, the boarding of said ships and inspection of Cargo under PSI measures.
THIS CLIP WILL BE UP FOR A SHORT TIME
Video images (OPEN SOURCE) begins at the 10:00 second mark after reporter's brief intro.

Enjoy, Freeper military and Korea/Japan regional study enthusiasts.
ping!
Beautiful ship.
Ah my old Home the Kitty Hawk, she is getting a little long in the tooth but still on the job.
(Still say that serving aboard her was the best job I ever had)
TT
It's the E-2C
It's no secret that the US developed a bunker busting nuke that would penetrate deep into the ground before detonating.
Wouldn't it be fun to have a stealth bomber drop one on the second test site, so that the Koreans think 1) Holy Cow! It worked! and 2) Holy Cow! It went off early!
Someone might post the obligatory photo (hopefully though a small .jpg that won't slow down the thread too much). :-)
sorry keyboard slip :-)
thanks again, FR Mod. will (hopefully) fix title :-)
I hear that Kittyhawk and its escort ships will conduct an exercise with Japanese Navy in East Sea. Any news on which carrier could be sailing into Yellow Sea?
LOL.
You must have been either an airdale or higher than an E-5.
Here's the Kitty Hawk.
Those joint exercises are open source.
They are already known publicly and in fact in the TV video clip here the Japanese narrator mentioned those USN-JMSDF joint exercises that are indeed scheduled for November.
Ping!
As always, it is the USA that sets up the choke-chain on the scum of this planet....while Kofi and his useless crooks sit around in a self-serving circle-jerk....generating letters and resolutions that the little Dog-Eater will use for potty paper (if he even uses any).....
Since the Japanese have ruled out going nuclear, maybe they can build a carrier or two, ( but no more than 4)
I thought "Gotta See This" was trademarked to the magnificent Diogenesis! Haven't we had enough copyright litigation here at FreeRepublic? Why can't we all just get along?
Interesting....
