Seeing that its own aircraft carriers are not enough to "maintain order" in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States really plans to carry out "crowdfunding deterrence" in the Western Pacific.

The latest to join the NATO program isItalian aircraft carrier CavourThis is Italy's only aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of 27,000 tons. Its carrier-based aircraft formation includes the Lightning Joint Strike Fighter and the Harrier attack aircraft.

From July 12 to early August, the Cavour participated in the multinational exercise Pitch Black in Australia and conducted joint military exercises with the USS Lincoln in the Philippine Sea.
