sorry to be spouting bad gouge.

To be honest, I don't know that you are. I know several people have
responded in support of what I said (the second time); unfortunitly you
knew what I meant, that carriers were in the Red Sea.

Looking quickly, I can find note that Enterprise was in the Red Sea in
2003 & 2004, Kennedy in 2004, Eisenhower in 2000, Carl Vension in 2005,
the Washingon in 2004, Truman in 2004 & 2005.
That's according to

Not as a heavy a commitment as I though, but still in and out.
