I see they have the Ospreys double parked on the flight deck. Never saw a picture of these in deployment before.

Nassau, Nassau, this is Neptune over. Hestons best movie IMO. Gray Lady Down".

As for Med Basin uprisings? Go back to a two carrier group posture there. Oops we can't anymore not enough ships. Do we even keep one there full time now?

A thing of beauty! My Ex was assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk. I loved that ship. :)

The middle ship is DDG 84 Bulkeley, and it belongs to the same DESRON as the USS Cole. I can’t make out the hull number of the trailing ship though.

So that could very well be the three ships mentioned.

That’s still isn’t much firepower since the Nassau carries 1100 ground troops with roughly 900 more for aviation support.

Unless they add a carrier battle group to that....Then maybe you have something.

Couple of Ospreys on that carrier. Looks like test plans in progress.
