3 Venezuelan Warships Try to Stop a U.S. Carrier — Then This Happened…

Three Venezuelan patrol vessels closed to just 12 nautical miles from the USS George Washington, attempting to block a U.S. carrier strike group in international waters. The destroyer USS Gravely moved into position, an MH-60R Seahawk launched overhead, and the standoff escalated into one of the most intense close-approach encounters in the Caribbean this year. Radar logs, formation changes, and engine signatures revealed a deliberate attempt to force the U.S. Navy to alter course — but the carrier group held its line. This video breaks down the full timeline of the incident: the approach, the intercept geometry, the radio silence, and the moment Venezuela finally backed down.
