Adm. Harry Harris, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, testifies at a House Armed Services Committee hearing on North Korea on Wednesday. "That’s my fault," Adm. Harry Harris told the House Armed Services Committee. The carrier group instead conducted exercises in the Indian Ocean for a week, and was still in Indonesian waters last weekend. It is now east of Okinawa, or about 1,000 miles southeast of North Korea, Harris said. Several days later, Vice President Mike Pence stood on the deck of aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan docked in Japan and warned North Korea not to “test” the Trump administration.
