has the USS Nimitz Battle Group arrived in or near the Persian Gulf yet ?
The USS Nimitz and her Battle Group / Strike Group left California
around the beginning of April. generally it takes about a month or to reach the Persian Gulf. So if the Nimitz group is not already there yet, it should be shortly. within maybe, 1 more week or so, yeah? Then the United States has 3 supercarriers (assuming the Eisenhower group doesn't leave) within striking distance of Iran, not to mention at least two smaller "carriers" the Marine assault ships; USS Boxer, USS Bataan and their escorts. If the Pentagon needs even more naval power, I've heard they could easily deploy 2 or 3 additional carrier groups to the region. enough for... ahem.... Gulf War III: Operation Devastate Iran. |

According to the"Status of the Navy" report as of May 2 Nimitz is still underway in the Pacfic. http://www.navy.mil http://www.navy.mil/navydata/navy_legacy_hr.asp?id=146 |

Anybody here heard about the Fleet Response Plan, or do you guys
prefer to discuss nuclear Armageddon again or explore political fiction scenarios?;-) On 4 Maj, 01:54, shrubkiller wrote: On May 3, 11:35 am, AirRaid wrote: The USS Nimitz and her Battle Group / Strike Group left California around the beginning of April. generally it takes about a month or to reach the Persian Gulf.

Especially after the RN sailors got abducted by Iran, no one is going to be sleeping on cover protocols again any time soon. Also, if Iran and the US were shooting at each other I doubt Israel would send any forces within a few hundred miles. No point and the cost would outweigh any benefit. |
