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.
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
The USS carrier George Bush is on patrol and heading to oust Isis from a township in Iraq
Is he really that Stupid
WTF!!
That’s what happened. They were all called into port and not told why they were there. They were told to wait for orders. This time they better be on alert and prepared for an attack

Not good. Override his decision. We need to be defended. He won’t keep his oath.
