"...Thanks for the ping. Where are you anyway?..."Here in the warm South. As things are happenning, I might not get up North for the Company Christmas party.
Two Carrier Battle Groups and two Amphib Battle Groups! Jeez, that's a lotta firepower to stick in the Arabian Sea!
I suspect they'll be using it soon. Stay well armed and safe, pal...............FRegards

You forgot that we will be bringing the ZOT! down on the Iranians too!
To: river rat
I agree.
Too much PC influence from the pantywaists whining about what Europe and Kofi Annan will think of us.

Why would we need six carrier groups to obliterate Iran? I should think two would suffice.

The congressional GOP isn't going to lift a finger to help Bush over the next two months. A majority of them are a bunch of spineless losers, most especially the senate.

To: FastCoyote
I got into this on another thread. With the Osprey coming and the VTOL fighter, it's getting hard to distinguish the two. And the Iwo and Boxer displace around 44,000 tons, so they are small carrier size. In current configuration and plussed up on AV-8Bs, they can at best be considered equivalent to British carriers. All said and done, AV-8Bs don't bring much to penetration strike capabilities.
Now when the JSF shows up its start to be a different ball game. They will then add more substantially to a strike capability, but they will still be limited by lack of supporting elements if operating autonomously.
Finally, I didn't say they weren't carriers. I said that WE don't consider them carriers. In comparison to other carriers of the world, they stack up fairly well.

I agree with that, but the question is, do we want Israel actually in hostilities, or should we handle it?ANY hostilities in the ME are going to include Israel, one way or the other..........
