Deep cuts about to be made in American carrier battle groups (CVBGs) are causing considerable alarm among Asian (particularly ASEAN) nations. The Clinton Administration's plans for cutting billions of dollars from the defence budget and its ongoing defence review has already passed sentence on entire classes of ships which will now be consigned to mothballs. The author examines the future of the U.S. Navy and shows why the concern among ASEAN nations is misplaced. Brief references are made to the Operation Desert Storm (war against Iraq) and 1982 Falkland War. (DÜI-Sen)
