I thought it was general knowledge that the Stennis was heading over there late Summer... it least it’s been known in my hometown (and hers) Bremerton.
Watch out for a September or October, “Wag the Dog”. Obama knows only Chicago style political tactics. If his re-election looks iffy he’ll start a war in a jiffy.
This story is a mess. Where do they get their info?
The Stennis left Bremerton a week ago and is on a training cruise in the Pacific. They just came off deployment the end of March so an August deployment is possible.
The Enterprise is just north of the Straits of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, 5th Fleet, on duty.
The Abraham Lincoln just left the 5th Fleet and passed through the Suez Canal, joining the Eisenhower in the Med this morning and then on to Norfolk, its new home port.
It is the Eisenhower that is heading for the 5th Fleet to relieve the Abraham Lincoln in a few days.
We don’t have two CVN carriers in the Gulf right now.
Doncha worry! The Iwo Jima with the 24th MEU onboard are deployed in the Persian Gulf and just finished a port call at Hibb Bahrain a few days ago.
One of the turnovers is happening in the Med - this is about Syria...
