Thanks for the link!
Is there something like a “Newbie FAQ” page? I may have overlooked it. Found the HTML Sandbox and reading it now.
“USS Mount Whitney (LCC/JCC 20), a Blue Ridge class command ship, is the flagship of the United States Navy’s 6th Fleet. She is also the command and control ship for Commander Joint Command Lisbon and Commander Striking Force NATO. She had previously served for years as 2nd Fleet’s command ship.”
“In February 2005, Mount Whitney left Norfolk for Gaeta, Italy where she was redesignated as (LCC/JCC 20) and assumed duties as the 6th Fleet flagship, officially relieving La Salle. She also assumed duties as the command ship for Commander Joint Command Lisbon and Commander Striking Force NATO.”
“....During the deployment, the ship embarked elements of the 2nd Marine Division and II Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF).”
I think the Russkies are about to find their real limit. If Georgia closes the Tunnel to North Ossettia, and the coast road from the North becomes impassable in Winter, and they can’t get anything in or out of the Georgian Ports, then the Russian forces in South Ossettia are cut off.
