In response to a Russian invasion, the United States has sent an aircraft carrier strike group into the Black Sea toward the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine. The super-carrier USS George W. Bush plus seventeen other ships and three submarines passed through the Aegean sea this afternoon. The George W. Bush is carrying 90 aircraft and helicopters of various types, including several squadron's of F-22 Raptors, the most advanced combat aircraft in the world. The submarines each have twenty four missile silos, with each silo housing a missile armed with eight separate nuclear warheads which operate as MIRV's (Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicles) that can be independently targeted.

Turkey would probably be more than happy to have a flattop in there regardless of whatever treaty supposedly prohibits it.
Problems getting into the Black Sea. That channel isn't particularly friendly for big ships to traverse through.
