It also includes a nuclear-powered submarine, the USS North Carolina, taking part in joint drills and the deployment of another Patriot missile battery. The fighters are normally based in Okinawa and can reach the Korean Peninsula in just two hours. The U.S. is also expected to send the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS John C.
