I just saw on the news a few hours ago that the US Navy is diverting the George H.W. Bush to the Eastern Med. She had been heading home after a five-month combat tour in the Arabian Sea, but will now redeploy off the Syrian coast.

Things could get interesting in a hurry. Does anyone know how long it has been since the US and Russia had carriers in close proximity during a crisis situation? Or is this the first time?

The Russian Admiral Kuznetzov and the American George H.W. Bush are both in the Eastern Med and Syria is threatening to boil over. Have American and Russian carriers ever been in close proximity during a crisis situation? The only possibility I can think of might be Kosovo. Do you know where the Kuznetzov was at the time?
