You see no problem with having to use a 60,000 ton LPH and 3,500 men to stop a 1/2 ton lifeboat?

Either we're going to attempt to rescue this Captain or we're going to kill him.

I believe that's the limit of choices until the Boxer arrives.

Once the Boxer is within a couple of hundred miles, every conceivable option is on the table. They have every possible tactical system aboard.

The problem is that TOTUS has equated the lives of the terrorists with the life of our hero Captain.

Everything needed to end this situation is there and has been there since the start. The only thing that’s been held back is the order to ‘Go’.

You mean LHA or LHD. The last LPH was decommissioned in 1998.
