Usually, the movements of American aircraft carriers are exposed and accompanied by media coverage. An aircraft carrier is not just a military piece or a military airport; Americans treat it as a “diplomatic” tool to impose their strength and dominance on others. As Kissinger describes it, “equals one hundred thousand tons of diplomacy.”
The latest edition of the American maritime doctrine states that “maritime diplomacy is the application of maritime capabilities in the pursuit of national objectives during cooperation and competition under conflict.”
“In the following year, Roosevelt officially endorsed the Monroe Doctrine, which relied on the use of military force as a tool of U.S. foreign policy. He announced the addition of ten warships and four destroyers to the U.S. Navy. In 1905, Roosevelt repeated the gunboat diplomacy experience to assert dominance over the Dominican Republic. However, American ambition and naval power display globally became more evident and symbolic in 1907 when Roosevelt launched the ‘Big Stick’ operation, sending 14 gleaming white battleships and seven destroyers on a 14-month circumnavigation journey covering 43,000 miles across six continents.
It is attributed to US President Clinton that when news of a crisis anywhere in the world reached the White House Situation Room, he would always ask about the aircraft carrier closest to the site of the crisis, while former US President Donald Trump expressed the importance of aircraft carriers in the U.S. military strength, stating, ‘American aircraft carriers are the essence of American military power abroad. We stand today on 4.5 acres of combat power and on sovereign American soil, an area unmatched by anyone, an area that no one can compete with. There is no one to compete with this carrier. It is a monument to American power.’
Yemen ends aircraft carrier diplomacy:As the Israeli aggression on Gaza began, the US deployed its aircraft carriers, the USS Eisenhower and USS Ford, with the intention of intimidating any party and preventing it from supporting the Gaza Strip. The message behind the presence of these carriers, as explicitly stated by the U.S. administration, was directed towards Iran, Hezbollah, and the Republic of Yemen.”
The US believed that the alliance would intimidate Yemen and that Yemeni operations would cease, similar to those previously subdued by the “diplomacy of a hundred thousand tons.” However, Yemen escalated its stance, expanding its operations and rejecting American threats as well as enticements. By January 12, direct military aggression by America and Britain against Yemen commenced. Americans did not anticipate that Yemeni operations would persist beyond this aggression for only a limited period. They were compelled to acknowledge, as stated by senior officials, that the aggression against Yemen did not deter Yemeni forces and that their operations were continuing and escalating, and they even extended to include American and British navigation before expanding to the fourth phase.
Eisenhower’s escape… Roosevelt’s disappearance:The Yemeni battle with American naval vessels marked the end of the era of aircraft carriers and confirmed their vulnerability to targeting. Yemeni forces targeted the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier three times between May 31 and June 20. Although the US did not explicitly acknowledge this targeting due to its implications of the decline of American hegemony and what Yemen might represent as a model of its audacity in striking this diplomatic military vessel according to the American definition, Eisenhower group leaders admitted after the group’s return home, in statements to the U.S. Naval Institute, that it was “the first time an American aircraft carrier has faced a direct and sustained threat from an enemy since World War II.”
The US states that Eisenhower’s withdrawal wasn’t due to being targeted but because its deployment was extended for an additional period, and it will be replaced by the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier, according to the U.S. Central Command statement on June 22.
Roosevelt’s direction towards the Gulf contradicted what was announced by the US, as the Gulf is not an area for Yemeni operations but a forced route, showing fear of the carrier being attacked by Yemen, an attack threatened by the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, days after Washington announced its intention to move Roosevelt to the Red Sea.
The National Interest newspaper says that the Houthis panicked when Roosevelt moved from the Pacific Ocean to the Red Sea, but it is clear that Roosevelt is the one in panic, fearing real targeting if it crosses the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait. It fears a scandal if it enters the Red Sea via Good Hope, the Strait of Gibraltar, and Suez, so there is no harm in showing off in the media that she is there even if she appears as what the Chinese now describe as a paper tiger, although the scene of hiding is no less scandalous than the scene of Eisenhower’s escape, and it confirms that she was targeted.
Yemen’s breaking of American deterrence and the naval hegemony’s collapse have influenced the decisions of other countries, which have begun to move more boldly in the vicinity of Taiwan and the Philippines. As for Russian President Vladimir Putin, he spoke mockingly about American aircraft carriers in a conference in ...
