"The U.S. Navy said Monday it has deployed a second aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf region amid rising tensions with Iran over its disputed nuclear program.
The two carriers will support the American military operations in Afghanistan and anti-piracy efforts off Somalia's coast and in the Gulf of Aden, she said."
Which is it? The Iran situation or Afghaiscrap and Somlia pirates? Plus, it's not the first time we've had two carrier groups deployed to the Persian Gulf region. Typical of the Associated Press to convolute things.
