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.
Research operation Northwoods if you feel the government is above such strategy.
So sad!!! Please do not let Pearl Harbor, or 911 happen again!!!
well we should bring the ones from middle east back..yemen which saudi arabia finances who has been at war with a country in africa actually fired on two of our ships in international waters there. if nobody saw it russia was sending its fleet into that area under much condemnation from britain france germany and italy..all those countries refused to let putin make port for refueling. russia is out there so it probably good so obama doesnt do something else to set off russia.
Bad news
Heads Up Israel And US Some Of Obama$#%&!@* As long as ships are in port the longer it takes to get to Israel if they are attack and it leaves our Soldiers in mideast vulnerable.
russia has also fortified its border dence in response to a expanding NATO missile defense that went up in europe near russian borders. everyone is trying to provoke russia. so far putin is not taking any bait but he pays attention and takes appropriate actions for his country and his ppl.. i will be glad when trump is in office and we do the same.
Mathew Marshall actially everything that jason is saying is factually correct. Fdr absolutely knew about the imminent attack and was in collaboration with his good friend Churchill to assure that the U.S. Would be pulled into the war, put civilians to work, etc. All of this info is available and documented. There were memos that were never sent to Pearl Harbor to let them know about the imminent attacked and the admiral in charge of the fleet was thrown under the bus and denoted along with the general of the army there to be used as scape goats for fdr. Again, this is all documented. Jasons age had no bearing on knowledge. Your grandfather was not in the know if what actually was going on behind the scene at the exec branch; neither was admiral kimmel.
Allan ‘Colton’ Pearson Jr he’s actually correct.
Stop obama now!
thank you ,Angel. Its not fun to spread truth. However, it is important.
