Five of the ten US destroyers stationed in the Japanese port of Yokosuka are in the Middle East due to the war with Iran. At least some of them will not return until next year, perhaps later. The aircraft carrier USS George Washington, which has the same home port, is also deployed there. This weakens the deterrence of China and the credibility of the US with its allies.
