A busy weekend in the South China Sea for the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group (CSG)

Note: Nimitz carrier group still in the Persian Gulf

How come they have on UN blue helmets?

I don't think it's a UN thing, but I could be wrong.

Thread:  What Would War With China Look Like?

Whole lotta military aircraft up:

Australia/New Zealand
South Korea/Japan/Western Pacific

UN blue is lighter, and there are green helmets down the line in the picture. Probably different crews or something.

People smarter than me no better but why do they feel the need to post about where they are or what they are doing?

Growing up in the 80s in Germany as a kid we were told to shut the fuck up about anything related to what our parents were doing. Literally, we had commercials on AFN reminding us that when you go to the base bowling alley to drop quarters into a pac-man machine that spies were lurking everywhere. Don't talk about the goings-on of your dad. Different world now I suppose.

The Tweet I posted is from the Navy

Yes, which for me makes it even weirder. But I'm sure they vetted the post against OPSEC.

I certainly assume so.

Naval personel wear different helmets to designate their roles on the flight deck.

That is not UN blue.

Blue handles getting the airplanes to deck to be specific.

Hot zone. Those boats are supporting actual ops most likely along with constant training.

Those are just hard hats, no UN logo

It’s a beautiful sight, the US Navy in action over the glorious blue water!!!
