Default A patriotic lurker needs some help from the Pros here

It is totally up to you guys. Here is the quick story:

Was watching some YouTube stuff regarding U.S. carriers. I stumbled into
this one spot where some dolt puts up a clip and describes it as "Iranian
State T.V. shows UAV/drone spying on U.S. Carrier."

Usually, I can argue with anyone about most anything, but I am clueless on
carrier stuff. Anyway, this clip DOES show a carrier from an altitude of
about 1000 feet. The problem is that it looks to me like this is some kind
of mucked-up video taken at the time the carrier is getting prepared for
some kind of demonstration. She is decked out with all her toys topside.

If a carrier is anywhere near an active mission location, I seriously doubt
that they'd be airing out the whole ship. Besides, I think that the
defense system would have picked up on a UAV. Hell, does Iran even have any
UAVs of note?

Take a look and leave a condesending message if you like. I really hate the
kind of remarks posted there at the moment.
