US Carrier Locations, get yer hard cold facts not that age old hype

Do a DU search, check it out, here and daily KoS, under my user name, Every damn time somebodies posting crap about having 6 carriers of the coast of some Mid Eastern Country, I just get this urge to yell at 'em and say STF up.

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/FogerRox/3

WE have one carrier in the Persian Gulf, the Stennis, who is 6 months into its deployment, which means another carrier needs to go out to the Persian Gulf area and replace the stennis. I think the Enterprise will be replacing the Stennis.

1) Nimitz is in India, @ Anchor, crews on leave
2) Enterprise as of june was in the mniddle of qualifications, easy coast.
3) Kitty Hawk is in the Coral Sea.
4) Ike is in Norfolk Va.
5) Carl Vinson is drydocked untill 2010.
6) Theodore Roosevelt is in Norfolk for a 9 month maintence cycle.
7) G. Washington just got out of drydock in Norfolk.
8) Stennis is in the Persian Gulf. And is near the end of its 6 month deployment.
9) Harry S. Truman is training on the east coast.
10) Ronald Reagan is in SAn Diego.
11) GHW Bush has not yet been delivered to the Navy.
12) Lincoln is off the state of Washington, from its home port of BRemmington.

Routine says the Stennis ( near the end of its 6 month deployment.) gets replaced by the Enterprise.

DU'ers, I have been saying it for a year, if we get 4 carriers in the Persian Gulf thats something to worry about. But every 6 months there is a rash of posting about the build up... yawn, gimme a effin break, do some freakin research before you posting up some bullshit. Carriers deploy for 6 months, then get replaced, YAWN.

I cant but think of the child's story, about crying wolf.

EDIT

This is the guy saying the Enterprise makes 3.

:eyes:

people freak out, and say "we going to bomb IRAN AHHHHHHHHhhh."

Trust but verify. Or in the case of the
Bush Cabal, don't trust, and verify.

:-)

We would need 4 carriers, minimum. 8-10 LA class attack subs to launch Tomahawks. Plus the best non nuke bunker busters are only carried by land based bombers.

Thanks for the info.

for 6 years, and they always did the 6 month rotation and always into the Gulf with a stop in Dubai. I don't know if they still do the Dubai stop because my son left the Navy about 4 years ago, but I know much of what you hear is SOP and not any increease in Naval ops.

Iran could throw rocks off the cliffs and hit carriers.... I mean gee whiz Tomahawk criuse missles can fly 1500+ miles, why park a carrier 3 miles of the coast of Iran.

Plus check out the website

How many domains like that are around.......

Tell your son welcome home......

Or why are you worrying about something the US Navy doesn't worry about.... thanks for the concern.

Nimitz maybe in India but when leave is up return to Persian Gulf

lots of people said Bush was bluffing on Iraq and wouldn't invade it

but he did
time will tell

But we do have Presidential Directive 51 in place

and the Big Secret Revealed by Kucinich which said that Democrats in closed door sessions were going to give Bush permission to invade Iraq

So if people are curious this could be some other reasons

Bush asked Blair if we should pressure Iran with our carriers, Blair told Bysh to fuck off, in fact get the fuck out of the region with your carriers, I dont want no fuckin US mistake to endanger my sailors...

And the Us carriers all move away ...

Funny how that worked.... Its like diminished capacity, no one wants bush to run his agenda. They know Bush will fuck up what ever he touches, so every country is like......


ewwww get away.

why because the evil he conjures is only destroying him and his minions

they still don't get it but they will eventually

especially when Bush & Cheney are in charge

obviously somebody doesn't remember that
or is blowing smokescreen

They'd never telegraph it with a publicly posted locater

We only know what they tell us. If they say that the Nimitz is docked in India, who here can tell us otherwise?

are the girlfriends in the next ports.

Tends to make it a moot point......

:D

"BRemmington" is no town, Bremerton is the right name. Thanks for posting this.

Bush Sr.? So there will be one named after the chimp some time? What a disgrace, both of them...

after this is all over.

Perhaps naming them after the Teletubbies would be apropriate.

Or the USS Jim Carter...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Jimmy_Carter

It's the last of three Seawolf class nuclear subs.

Do you have an inside source that the rest of the country does not ?

I'm not trying to be a smart ass here , however I do question everything .

I doubt if this admin had some grand plans they are going to post all the intel for all to see .

The Reagan should be renamed the "Nelson Mandela" in honor of the hero whose imprisonment that rotten POS supported.

The GHW Bush should be renamed the "Franklin D. Roosevelt" to restore that great name to the fleet, missing since the old carrier of that name was decomm'd in 1977.

The Ford should be renamed the "JFK" to replace that recently decommissioned ship.

After that, I propose a return to the traditional names like "Ranger," "America," Constellation," and the others.

Naming them after recent, rotten presidents has just not worn well.

Very good point.

We have a recently-built destroyer in the fleet right now named after Churchill, for example:

http://www.churchill.navy.mil/

Maybe Mandela would not choose to have a carrier named after him. A hospital ship might have been a better idea.

But we could conceivably go with "Lafeyette," since the last ship of that name (a ballistic missile sub) was decommissioned in 1991.

In any case, the names of Bush, Reagan, and Ford have to go.

I thought he was....wellll deceased....:shrug:
