As we first reported last week, in an article that was met with much original skepticism, the Pentagon has now confirmed that a fleet of 12 warships has passed the Suez Canal, and is now likely awaiting orders to support the escalation in the Persian Gulf. The attached image from Stratfor shows the latest positioning of US aircraft carrier groups as of June 23: the USS Harry Truman (CVN-75) is now right next to USS Eisenhower (CVN 69), both of which areAs for the catalyst the two carriers may be anticipating, we provide the following update from the Gulf Daily News where we read that Israel may be on the verge of an attack of Iran, with an incursion originating from military bases in Azerbaijan and Georgia. waiting patiently just off Iran.

I vote for a garbage scow...;0)
Garbage scow is being saved for Obama...you know, the boats that take out garbage and dump it someone...:O)
LOL,,,This is the info that the USN “Wants” to be put out
there,,,
Navy.mil is where this info comes from...
Fine, like I said OK.
Just cautious these days.
All part of the preparation for an OCTOBER SURPRISE.
Obammie the Commie wants no real action, just wants to flex his emaciated muscles, get America all concerned about national defense, strike the patriotic song, and then work out a giveaway deal with Iran in secret so that they don’t actually do anything.
LOL,,,Maybe I shoudda’ said “Garbage Can”!!!...;0)
That guy won’t get a garbage scow named after him.
Ok maybe an oiler...
There will never be a USS Richard M. Nixon, either.
LOL
That would be something wouldnt it? Those Carriers are there to Take down Israeli Jets not Iran!

It’s a normal turnover. Watch for the Eisenhower to be headed home within a few days.
Jimmuh Carter got a sub. Obama deserves a garbage scow.
His own.
Geez, I wrote about the scow before I read all the responses.
I see a trend here.
......Its a lot of money being spent to just have a display......
“Speak cowardly and wave a club”
The carriers are the right flank back up.
The primary attack will be across the Gulf by the combined IDF, Saudi Air Force and Qatari Air Force
” obama doesnt have any interest in dealing with Iran.”

You know...It just never ceases to amaze me how the broadcast and positional knowledge of ships movement (whether it is accurate or not) still seems to not bother many people...Especially the Gator Navy manuevers...
So what does all of this mean, really???
Absolutely nothing, especially with the quality of leadership at the National Command level...
All this does is increase the risk to those ships and crew to attack, not only on the high seas, but into ports of call in the area...
I guess what happened to the USS Cole didn’t teach anyone a lesson...Among other things...
But I guess I am a real cynic when it comes to things like this...
I guess I’ve never been a big fan of using the military as targets for the enemy, strictly for domestic political gains or purposes...And not for legitimate National Security purposes...
But then again, with what we have now running the show, nothing surprises me...
it’s also time to rotate the fleets, so, this means nothing, really.
