We don't consider the Iwo and Boxer to be carriers, though they have flight decks for helos and VTOL.

If there are 4 carriers in the area, the water below has to be quite crowded.

It would make sense to strategically redeploy out of Iraq through Iran before the Democrats in Congress cut the funding for Iraq. Of course, that would make for a longer trip back to Syria on the way home.

It's that or wait for Israel to clean up the area.

Dear Al Jazeera.

You may fear Allah

But we are bringing God, Moses, Jesus and whole lot of firepower down on your butt....Deal with it.

Yeah. They are LPH's that each carry about a battalion of marines.

In a related question, "What's that big, wet spot spreading across the front of Skippy Ahmadinejad's khaki pants?"
