6th Fleet has more fun!
The USS Stennis is on scene.

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]
"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
Get some Stennis!
What a beautiful sight!

and here we go....
Nice photo - what do those lines going into the water do?
Fishing for dinner?
Those are whip antennas in the folded down posistion.
God Speed to your son...I have no worries about him and his fellows doing the job of defending our nation. But I worry terribly about the political long-knives at home, which are poised to destroy our national command's ability to prosecute any war.
Thanks
