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.
Again, I reiterate. All the Carriers are overextended. There are more conflict areas than we have Carriers on rotation. Simple math. People who sound off about things that they have zero knowledge about sound like chumps to those who at least have taken the time and efforts to educate themselves. Be patient and calm, our nukes are right where they are supposed to be. The Air Force is Formidable unto themselves. As is the Army. No one in this world wants to go up against us one on one, that’s pure suicide on their part.
Airing our laundry again, making us vulnerable and the middle east at risk, Israel defenseless as the fleet was ordered back with no relief.
This situation is no good Obama has put us in a very very bad position someone needs to act now on our behalf
Good advise, Lawrence Cummins. We can’t be this stupid on purpose?
I guess there won’t be any money left when Trump becomes president …Obama is spending it all
Absolutely ridiculous if not treasonous!
If anything happens to that fleet, I guess there will be no doubt who to go after.
All 10 carrier’s are in port as of December, 2 are in Bremerton, 3 in Norfolk, 3 in San Diego, 1 in yokosuka and 1 in dry dock in Portsmouth VA.
Dummy the only reason they didn’t get the CVs we’re they we’re all deployed on Dec 7
Obamas plan “D”?
