The most valuable naval assets the US deploys are its aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. Unlike the subs which remain hidden, our ten aircraft carriers remain in full view. For anyone who has ever see one in person, the things are just overwhelming. They cost billions and take years to construct. The loss of a single aircraft carrier, let alone several, would be catastrophic.
They remain a primary method by which the US projects power around the globe. Accompanied by cruisers and destroyers (and probably a submarine), a carrier task force is formidable indeed.
Typically we see our carriers, or at least some of them, deployed around the world, frequently in the Middle East. For a brief period of time right now, that’s not the case. More on page two.
Ridiculous they are always some where in the world what is obama up to now leaving us defenseless!?
This is untrue, they are not allowed to be in port all at once and we always have them deployed. The is f**e news.
All our protection in the ocean and air is compromised wake up AMERICA LIBERALS DEMACRATS REPUBLICANS THIS WILL EFFECT EVERY AMERICAN FROM COAST TO COAST
That was unheard of in my day.
WTF?
You don’t have a shipyard big enough (in the world) to berth 10 Carrier Groups. MRCS Reuter.
At Pearl Harbor all the aircraft carriers were at sea for the “sneak” attack. Only the battleships were in port. The people in charge during the days leading up tp the “sneak” attack, Knew that the days of the battleship was over, The only way for our government to get into that war was to allow the “sneak” attack to go forward but didn’t want to lose the aircraft carriers lost. America was in a “isolationist” mood after the 1st world war and DIDN’T want to participate in another European fiasco because of the terms ending WW I could only lead to another war, The Europeans pretty much ignored anything the U.S. wanted to put into the treaty that ended WW I. The only thing I can see happening with this situation is ODUMBASS is setting the U.S. up for what could possibly be a devastating “sneak” attack by whoever, Maybe that’s why he wanted Iran to have nuclear capabilities, A terrorist “sneak” attack of that magnitude could create the possibility for ODUMBASS to declare martial law and finish the job of destroying America he started in 2008. GOD SAVE THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
This$#%&!@*is setting us the$#%&!@*up!
This totally wrong. One of the first things Trump shoud do is deploy our ships.
A sitting president is immune to criminal prosecution. He can pardon himself to prevent investigation. A law passed by the Dems made it so he CAN be served for civil action while in office. That and the “nuclear option” they passed essentially “shot themselves in the foot” so to speak. Arrogant Bastards. Like Nixon said, “it’s the lie that gets you.”
