So which carrier launched the B-2 in the photo?

Heh-heh.

That's what I call sending a message. Let's pray the deranged Mr.(mentally)Il is coherent enough to take the hint.

I'd like to see our missile defense from Alaska shoot down the NK missile if they fire it.

Great photo! I wonder if this is being released as a Candygram to somebody?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Ya think? :)

If NK arms and launches a missile at this battle group...I pity NK. The Navy knows what it's doing here.

Where are the subs?

The Silent Service does not photograph well - they are generally hiding in the water our of the surface fleet.

There ware two types of vessels in the military, submarines and targets.

Subs being the shy type, won't be found it these pictires.

The terrorists in Iraq have shown how effective the RPG can be against our vehicles and men. There are lots of Chinese and Russian missiles that can waste our aircraft carriers in one or two blows. This photo shows good force projection and shows off our ships airplanes and technology but ....

And as far as anti ship missiles I haven't even included ones with nukes. A small nuke that decimates some of our ships out in a vast ocean, away from populations, will not be viewed with same world wide hysteria-agitation as a nuke deployed on land targets
