Aircraft carriers are generally too large to enter the Black Sea due to the narrow Bosphorus Strait and Dardanelles Strait. The last time a U.S. aircraft carrier visited the Black Sea was in 2006, when the USS Eisenhower conducted maritime security operations and training exercises with allies and partners in the region.<\/p>\n

Yes, they can but they require permission from all Black Sea littoral states, Crimean Peninsula excluded.<\/p>\n

Can a US aircraft carrier get to the Black Sea? <\/h2>\n

The closure of the Turkish Straits will have a significant impact on the ability of the United States to project power into the Black Sea region. The straits are a critical chokepoint for maritime traffic between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and the closure will effectively cut off American warships from accessing the Black Sea. This could have major implications for the security of the region, as the United States will no longer be able to easily monitor or respond to activity in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n

The Black Sea is a critical waterway for maritime commerce and stability throughout Europe. The US Navy routinely operates in the Black Sea to work with our NATO Allies and partners, including Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Turkey, and Ukraine.<\/p>\n
