Three aircraft carriers in the Middle East?

Would that make three carrier groups over there? What in the world is Bush planning?

I never wanted to be in the Navy, but if I had the honor of
serving on this ship, I'd have to reconsider. Semper Fi ...

This is probably a regular deployment, and they'll be in the Indian Ocean in a few weeks. They don't need to go into the Gulf to hit Iran, and they probably wouldn't want to.

I would not like to speculate on what Ronnie will be doing... but interdicting supply and support for terrorists in Iraq might involve operations on both sides of the Iran/Iraq border...

Does the Reagan have a nickname? You know, like the Connie, the Indie, etc.

I like the symbolism.
It was the mere threat represented by Ronald Reagan becoming the commander in chief that caused Iran to release the hostages in the Iranian Hostage Crisis, on the day if Reagan's inauguration a mere 20 minutes after his inaugural address.
Sending the USS Ronald Reagan to the Gulf to deal with Iran seems appropriate.
