Maybe the carrier's own crew? A muslim infiltrator setting off a nuclear weapon??

He or they would have to get past a group of highly trained and motivated jarheads first.Odds are nill to none.

"The name loftus isn't ringing a bell."

John Loftus is a Democrat with previous intelligence ties that he now capitalizes on in order to promote his political agenda. His so-called "intelligence reports" are heavily colored by his own personal leftist view of the world. One of his gigs is paid phone visits to national radio talk shows, to present "The Loftus Report", like the Batchelor and Alexander Show (B&A are not true rino's, but more like wolf-in-sheep's-clothing republicans). If you really want to bother, his website can be found by Googling his name.

I promise.

Actually, overconfidence hides the weakness. Granted, they would have to be "lucky" - but given the proper intelligence, tactics, training, and operational discipline (secrecy) - it is possible.

Further, there are reports of mooslums joining the services, learning American tactics and weaknesses and communicating with handlers who transmit the information back to the sand bucket. (ie: Mooslum Chaplain Lee is NOT innocent of having communications with a syrian foreign national about conditions at Gitmo)

Given that the UK uncovered a major terrorist plot today - we know that our enemy goes through a form of operational doctrine in their tactical operations. (learn, probe, plan, execute)

One could say that if we read any-one's entrails, we would find them to be full of sh**!(just joking...no insult meant).

Bingo!!!
Sabotaging the power plant would do the trick.

Really wouldn't want to do this, the blackshoes can be a lot meaner than the marines!!
Especially when you mess with out boilers!!

It would have to be asymetrical and that almost surely means at dock or in harbor.

On my first visit recently to a city where CVNs come to play, I was astonished at how close the runway threshold at the city airport was to the CVNs that were tied up.

It would be no problem for an aircraft with a bad pilot to divert from final and hit the CVN. Wouldn't take 30 seconds.

The "S**tty Kitty" is haze-gray and underway at the moment.

It is not easy to find an aircraft carrier, even when it wants to be found.

Hows NEINS' track record on this stuff?

Northeast Intelligence Network operations cycle:

1. Announce doomsday.

2. Doomsday doesn't happen.

3. Take credit for preventing doomsday.

We are not in an all-out war. How many factories in your town have stopped making widgets and converted to production of war materials? Have you been issued your gasoline ration card? Are there still young men in your town that haven't been activated? How many times in the last year has the front page of your paper had the headline "Capitol of rag country (fill in the blank) gone?" Few of us here at home have been effected directly by this WOT, as would be the case if it was a real all-out war.

Bless you for the truth.

On July 4, 2002 (first after 9-11), the Boston Globe tried to find reminiscences of the patriotic celebrations of July 4, 1942 (first after Pearl Harbor), to compare and contrast with that day's schmaltzfest.

One problem.

There were no patriotic celebrations, or any other kind, on 7/4/42, because anyone who wasn't working the third shift at the plant was either home sleeping or on a troopship.

People just have no idea.

Well, if I were trying to get a jetliner close enough to an aircraft carrier to crash it then I would charter a plane, submit a flight plan that would take it over the carrier, follow the flight plan until I'm overhead or close to it, and then just dive into the carrier at maximum velocity.

Uh-oh: there's a problem.

You got to where the carrier was supposed to be: nothing but water down there.

Ships can move. They can even move without telling you where they're going.

The Tomcat guys will be fighting over who gets to stand the alert 5 watches for the next few nights.

That would be true, if it weren't for the fact that Kitty Hawk no longer has an F-14 squadron. VF-154 came back to CONUS a number of months ago and was replaced in the Kitty Hawk airwing by VFA-102 with their F/A-18F SuperBugs.

Your thought does apply in principle, tho ...

Personally, I think that the Islamofacists caught wind of how Oriskany is slated to be scuttled off the Gulf Coast as an artifical reef and decided "hey, we can take credit for this, can't we?"

[Sloth]

Maybe they plan to hijack the carrier's own fighter jets, LOL...

[mewzilla]

My dad has a scrapbook that has his mom's ration coupons left over from WWII. I think yesterday was the anniversary of the day food rationing of meat, butter, and cheese started in '42 or '43. That's what reminded me of those old coupons.

[Poohbah]

There are a couple reasons a carrier will be hard to target, unless it is in port.

1. As a pilot, I never found the ship where it was supposed to be for the recovery.

2. No matter how good the weather is in an area of ocean the ship finds the only squall and drives straight into it.

"Them's the Breaks of NAVAIR" Bump!

[Snowy]

If this is credible, then they're pretty confident if they're bragging about it already.

[Poohbah]

If they did that, my guess would be because the nukes already on the carrier and they just happen to have access to it through an insider.

Newsflash: US aircraft carriers no longer carry nuclear weapons, and have not done so since 1991.
