Yes, I’ve read about that. I’d like to think something is up with Syria, but I’m not holding my breath that this isn’t all some scare tactic to get Assad to back down.
btw- it doesn’t seem to be working.

There is more up with this. Review the map and legend below it from this thread.

Only two of our 11 CVN carriers are deployed. The rest are in home port.

Three of our 9 LDH assault ships are not in home port. Two of those are on port call, Bali and Pearl Harbor so only one is on deployment. The three ships on deployment are all in the middle east.

That means a single tactical nuke attack at Hampton Roads would virtually wipe out our Atlantic fleet. A coordinated attack on San Diego and we would be left with only four CVN’s and only the three LHD’s that are out of port.
