The American edition of The Drive in its publication told about the preparation of the United States for the Third World War with the USSR.
The article recalls on July 7, 1988, when a Soviet delegation led by Marshal of the Soviet Union Sergei Akhromeev, who committed suicide in August 1991, first visited the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt ("Theodore Roosevelt") of the United States Navy, where could directly observe the capabilities of American carrier-based aircraft.
A month later, the 40th US President Ronald Reagan commented on the event. “He [Akhromeev] watched our excellent airplanes perform. In general, he spent one day at one of the technological wonders of the world - a floating airfield, with which nothing in his Navy could be compared,”the head of state said.
According to Reagan, Akhromeev could not come to terms with the fact that ordinary American sailors and pilots performed work at Theodore Roosevelt, which in the USSR is trusted exclusively by high-ranking officers. Also, the Soviet chief was surprised by the manner of communication adopted between privates and officers on an aircraft carrier, suggesting that each of them, regardless of their position, can freely express their opinion to their superiors.
The publication reminds that on August 25 of the same year, Theodore Roosevelt first joined his carrier strike group and sailed towards the North Atlantic, where he took part in one of the most realistic exercises, which “most closely resembled what the United States would do in the event of a war with The Soviet Union . The publication reports that during the exercises conducted with NATO partners, the military worked out measures to counter the penetration of Soviet submarines through the Faroe-Icelandic border (a conditional line connecting Greenland and the British Isles).
Earlier in April, Popular Mechanics reported that the coronavirus epidemic at Theodore Roosevelt, due to its abnormal statistics, puzzled epidemiologists. The publication noted that half of those who tested positive for COVID-19 are men and women under 30 years of age who do not show obvious symptoms of the disease.
In February, The Drive, which drew attention to a related request from the Office of Naval Research, wrote that the US Navy is developing the Affordable Mobile Anti-Submarine Warfare Surveillance System (AMASS), which should enhance the American stationary sonar acoustic surveillance system SOund SUrveillance. System (SOSUS), located on the Faroe-Icelandic border since the Cold War.
In February, US Navy Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis said the United States' East Coast and Atlantic Ocean were no longer safe for American submariners due to increased Russian activity in recent years.
