Default 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.

Who has a thermonuclear device than has even a small chance to do the job?
With the possible exception of the Israelis, certainly no one in the
region.

Anybody here heard about the Fleet Response Plan, or do you guys
prefer to discuss nuclear Armageddon again or explore political
fiction scenarios?;-)

The USS Liberty was a trial run to see if Mrrrknz had the guts to do
anything about it. You didn't.

region.

I propose we change the name of the USS Stennis to USS Liberty and
park it off the coast of North Korea.

Seems to me that any ship named Liberty is likely to go undefended
by the Bush administration.

Then you are wrong on doctrine. People have learned from the Liberty
and Pueblo. 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.
