Weighing in at more than 100,000 tonnes, the warship has been described as the world’s largest aircraft carrier, capable of carrying more than 75 aircraft and with a crew of about 4,500 personnel. “If you’re from a small navy like the Danish, every time we go out with our ships, we go out to be in some sort of coalition with our allies and partners,” said Munksgaard.“Going through the 1990s and the early 2000s, we thought we were going in the right direction. Of course, we tried to get closer to the Russians and tried to evolve that partnership, and it seems now we must go in another direction and be prepared for that,” he said.
Admiral Daryl Caudle, the commander of U.S. fleet forces command, said during a news conference that the world has seen a series of destabilizing events since then, including the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chain disruptions and Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. “Canadians shouldn’t be worried about this … We have some great forces here as is being demonstrated here in the harbour to provide deterrence to the Russians from doing anything against our homelands.”
