The arrival date, times and berthing details of the USS Kitty Hawk, USS Cowpens, USS Juneau and USS Tortuga were published by the Sydney Ports Corporation despite requests from the US to keep the information secret.OK...So which izlamic country runs the Port Authority there in Sydney???

Wine (or whiskey), Women (some males probably) and Song (or a good fight) are what these 7,000 sailors will want.

Judging by this thread, one can only hope the sailors are a little more conscious of the threat than the beer.

Yes...Hopefully they have all been briefed on the potential threat in Australia...
Australia may not be a wise place for the muzzies to mess with Americans...No doubt our fine Australian allies would take serious offense to such a threat...

I see the carrier deck is labeled “FR” I know that Free Republic is big, but I didn’t know we had an aircraft carrier namesake.
