In August 2025 the [[United States]] assembled a strike package off the coast of Venezuela, capable of launching at least 268 [[Tomahawk cruise missile]]s, as well as amphibious assault ships capable of landing around 4,000 [[U.S. Marines]] and [[nuclear war|nuclear attack]] [[submarine]]s.  The warships represented ~12% of the entire [[U.S. Navy]] then at sea. Reports indicated that the [[CIA]] had [[sabotage]] groups boots on the ground. It was joined in November 2025 by the supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest [[aircraft carrier]] in the world. The operational cost of the strike force standing idly by was $18 million per day, or more than half of a Billion [[dollar]]s per month.
