MANAMA (Reuters) - The U.S. navy has sent a third aircraft carrier to its Fifth Fleet area of operations, which includes Gulf waters close to Iran, the navy said on Tuesday.
"Enterprise (aircraft carrier) provides navy power to counter the assertive, disruptive and coercive behaviour of some countries, as well as support our soldiers and marines in Iraq and Afghanistan," a U.S. Navy statement said.

It's not unusual for a carrier two head out when there are already two in the area, the third usually relieves one of them.
In this instance that may be the case, the possibility of a strike just went up a few notches.

Iran may have messed with us one too many times in Iraq. Don't hold your breath. I hope we are flying border patrol missions extensively.

Ain’t no point sending in another carrier if you ain’t gonna use it. And we ain’t gonna use it.

I want to see us do something. We (the USA) are like a football team that has not scored a touchdown in a long time. We have a great defense, but we cant get anything going on offense. Eventually you start to doubt your ability and lose confidence. It is time we take the war into Irans territory and change the pace. we need energized

I have just been fuming these last couple day because of these RINOs and our unwillingness in the past to go after them. It is past time our CIC take it to the enemies and tell these Rats and RINOs to shove it up their a**es if they’ve got a problem with it.
