[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Still, the Enterprise - with its compliment of F-14 Tomcat fighters - is not the best candidate for a humanitarian aid mission."

As many have already alluded to, the F-14 has been out of use since about 2005. The enterprise is packed with F-18's and hopefully soon, F-35's in the near future. The Enterprise can be used to enforce the no fly zone while the Kearsage's Helos can be used for delivering relief supplies, etc. And, if need be deliver Marines to re-earn the Marmaluke sword.

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli baby!

***From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli baby! ***

I’ve been hearing that Marine’s Hymn since this thread started. Glad you mentioned it.

"From the Halls of Montezuma to the shore of Tripoli..."

Lord Acton wouldn't be surprised..

Given the situations today in Mexico and Libya, it's probably 50/50 that the Marines will have to revisit their old stomping grounds...who could have thunk it?
