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.
NOT TRUE…..AT LEAST ONE IS ON TRAINING EXERCISES IN PREPARATION TO GO TO THE PERSIAN GULF
The carriers were out to sea…learn the facts before agreement to BS
Hope the crews locations are kept secret. This is not normal and Obama has something dirty in the works.
Get those ships out…it’s to scary to think of another Pearl Harbour. Obamas up to something ..
Better institute full security. Admirals do your jobs keep carrier forces apart and get out to sea. Do not trust any Muslims aboard each ship.remove them and any known BLM member
Can he move against Russia or China from there? Perhaps he wants to be attacked.
How stupid is this?!?!
People, for heaven’s sake, throttle back a bit. These decisions originate with the Dept of the Navy. Do you have one conclusive piece of evidence that President Obama gave this order??? Yeah, didn’t think so. Is this unusual? Absolutely but a decision of this magnitude is not made lightly w/in the Pentagon and w/o the buy-in of the Joint Chiefs. I’m sure in short order the Navy will have carriers back on station if they aren’t already in route.
yeah like i said it is scarey
Sooooo, their commercial about being a global force forever…….good one Obozo! Somebody please arrest that treasonous traitor to America. What a pile of steamy$#%&!@*!!!
