BATTLE STATIONS US warship sails within ‘striking distance’ of North Korea as Donald Trump prepares ‘show of force’ after Kim Jong Un’s failed ballistic missile test

A HUGE US Navy super-carrier is gearing up for war off the coast of North Korea after Kim Jong-un’s third test fire flop this month.
USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier group has arrived in waters near the Korean peninsula, where it will join the USS Michigan, a guided missile submarine that docked in South Korea on Tuesday.
Upon arrival today, the carrier kicked off a joint drill with the South Korean navy.
A defence ministry spokesman said: “Immediately after the aircraft carrier arrived in the Sea of Japan, South Korea and the US strike forces launched a drill from 6pm Saturday.”
