Harry Truman carrier.
Perhaps the terrorist unit need to put a tail on this guy. There's so many cops in this world that maybe we could spare ONE to tail this guy.

STOWAWAY BOARDED US CARRIER
By Suzanne Pert A NEWPORT man who boarded an American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier anchored in The Solent has been made subject to an anti-social behaviour order and banned from named sensitive areas.
Abdoul Masmoud Yessoufou, 37, whose address was given at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on Wednesday as East Street, Newport, admitted entering a prohibited area at Portsmouth Docks. The court was told that Yessoufou was found on the USS Harry S. Truman at the weekend after he strolled past guards and hitched a ride out to the carrier on a boat used by sailors on runs ashore. Yessoufou had previously appeared before Uxbridge Magistrates three times this year for entering restricted zones at Heathrow. He also reached the side of an aircraft at Southampton Airport in January.
I was in the engine room on a US Navy fast attack sub (in port) when a civilian strolled by on a self proclaimed tour.

Time to lock the guy up, I'd say. Past time.
Some Marine is going to pay for this.
Ping
One who stows away on a ship with thousands of people aboard is arguably overly-social.
Hmm,
looks like this profiling PC crap might be having an effect.

I'd bet a month's beer allowance that the guard was not a Marine but a civilian contractor "security guard." We have contracted out far, far too many aspects of our military functions. If, in fact, it was a Marine, he should be subject to a summary court--not merely an Article 15. Violation of the General Orders governing guard duty is a serious offense and punishable under UCMJ Punitive Articles.
How so, MARDETS were removed from Navy ships in the 90s. Some squid who most likely looks like he slept in his crackerjacks should pay for it.
Without dosimetry? I'll bet the Engineer was mad at him.
"Abdoul Masmoud Yessoufou . . ."
Probably could board any airline in the USA, too; but if you're an 80 year-old grandmother in a wheelchair,
you'll probably be thoroughly searched and detained. . .

Just a simple muslim plane spotter, who likes aircraft carriers.
Curious, it seems to be extremely incomplete. Damn those Ilse of Wightians, they are known for their lack of details.
Or perhaps I am simply unable to undestand the article in full, as the content is too far over my.
Or maybe it's in code. hmmm?
We need to get some CIA operatives into the Isle of Wight NOW.
Wessels, nuclear wessels.
I knew we were having trouble keeping the "Abdoul's of the world" out of the US.
It's a hell of a lot worse when we are having trouble keeping them off our aircraft carriers.
I want to know where he came from, where he's been and who he's talked to for the past 10 years before he sees the light of day.
When some Arab tourist takes too many videos of national landmarks, the FBI / TSA busts him for terrorism and it's a huge story. Yet, this genuinely scary guy is sent along his merry way.
Bingo.
