Framing Analysis
The USS Nimitz entered the southern Caribbean Sea on Wednesday while conducting previously scheduled joint naval exercises with the Brazilian Navy off Rio de Janeiro. The Justice Department announced charges against 94-year-old former Cuban president Raúl Castro on the same day. The carrier, commissioned in 1975 and accompanied by Carrier Air Wing 17, USS Gridley, and USNS Patuxent, is expected to remain in the region for several days.
