It would still have to connect with the aircraft carrier - my guess is our professional sailors would knock it out of the sky before it connects.

I realize all that. I'm just saying how I would attempt to do it if I were to attempt to do it - which I would not. I recognize things can veer off plan and you can instead end up in a cow pasture in Pennsylvania, or something..

the other possible idea - I had heard that AQ may have gotten their hands on some north korean anti-shipping mines, not sure if there was a FR thread on it from a few weeks back.

Maybe the carrier's own crew? A muslim infiltrator setting off a nuclear weapon?? Most logical, most credible and most likely.

Good Evening All-
"...Then again destroying WTC was a pretty tall order.."
***************
Despite the inane ramblings from Richard Clarke, we weren't prepared for the WTC to be attacked by a swarm of Islamic kooks. Unfortunately, the WTC was also not equipped with a Phalanx Close-In Weapons System mounted on the roof.
If those dirtbags had any juice, they would just attack the aircraft carrier...not posture and blather endlessly about it. They ain't got nothin' going on. Support our men and women in uniform as they shield us from these sandy punks.

Did Debka weigh in on this yet? I don't believe anything until Debka, Newsmax, WND, and Drudge confirm it.
Anyway, to take out a carrier, the Jihadis need a nuke. And if they had a nuke, they'd be far more likely to (attempt to) detonate it in a U.S. city than in the middle of a carrier battle group.

Or maybe Allah will do it himself, with a bolt of lightning out of his desert ass.

The second Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) was laid down by the New York Ship Building Corp., Camden, N.J., 27 December 1956; and launched 21 May 1960, sponsored by Mrs. Neil H. McElroy; and
commissioned 29 April 1961 at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard , Capt. William F. Bringle in command.
The Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) has been on active duty 43 years. Typically a US Navy ship has a active duty life span of 25 or 30 years before being decommissioned. US taxpayers are getting their moneys worth with the Kitty Hawk.

You obviously didn't read
this article about Russian jets overlying a Navy carrier, did you?

Most logical, most credible and most likely.That infiltrator would have to get through some very tough Marines, with assault rifles, first.

Yep, I would suspect that an aircaft carrier is pretty hard to sneak up on.

An aircraft carrier would definitely have to be considered a "hard" target in comparison to the many "soft" targets out there. If they could even damage one, it would be a major coup.

...what in AQ's arsenal could possibly get close enough to an aircraft carrier that could destroy it? They have a history of crashing jetliners into their targets.
...and our Aegis cruisers have a history of shooting down airliners that get too close to the fleet.

please read
this article about Russian jets overlying the USS Kitty Hawk while she was refueling underway in the Sea of Japan.

As of a couple of weeks ago she was out on manuvers and making a port call at Pusan So. Korea.

I think that tomorrow will pass with nothing out of the ordinary happening.
If there is an attack at least we won't have to debate who is at falt.
To: PokeyJoe
Obviously not. But I still think Air Al Queda would have a hard time pulling this one off.

No. Unless it was directly beneath it. A 85,000 ton carrier isn't going to be moved by shockwaves from a few miles away if detonated underwater.

Maybe the carrier's own crew? A muslim infiltrator setting off a nuclear weapon?? Check anyone with access to the kitchen and cooks!
