	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.  |
