It's about 800 miles from Abbottabad to the USS Carl Vinson. How did they get that vermin's corpse out to Vinson? A chopper over the Khyber Pass to Bagram then a waiting COD to Vinson? Enquiring minds want to know.

I googled "Abbottabad." At first, I thought they were saying "Abadabad." It turns out that the city was named after Major James Abbott, a British Army officer during the Raj. He founded the town, which was apparently quite a pleasant place.

"The body was then flown to Afghanistan and Bin Laden's identity was confirmed. Officials say a DNA sample was taken that matched that of several other family members. Some sources say facial recognition technology was also used.

From Afghanistan, the body was, it appears, flown to the USS Carl Vinson.

So they:

Launch the raid
Have a 40 minute firefight
Kill Osama
secure the compound
tag and bag the body
call for evac
fly the body to Afghanistan
Conduct DNA and facial recognition testing
load the body on another aircraft
fly out to an aircraft carrier
carry out a religious ceremony
dump the body at sea.

All in less than 12 hours.
