Impact verdict

Medium impact. The deployment of a nuclear-powered carrier to the Caribbean signals significant escalation in US-Cuba relations, with potential implications for War Risk and Marine Hull underwriters operating in the region. However, no kinetic action has been reported and the event remains a military posturing deployment at this stage.
