Wasn't the Constellation in the Gulf region back at the beginning of 2003?
I seem to recall an article where Rumsfield wanted to add 2-4 more carriers
in that region at the time. Given their size I doubt they would position
themselves in an area too close to the mainland, right? I saw the
Enterprise once, and I was just flabbergasted at the size - totally awesome.
I wanted to find someone to see about going aboard, or find a way of getting
aboard, but my husband (now my ex-, but still on friendly terms), a Marine,
steered me away from it. lol. All I wanted was to step aboard it, so I
could say I've been aboard the Enterprise. It wasn't like I was going to go
in search of Kirk or Spock. Geez....
