Is that why two carrier battle groups turned up riding at anchor in the Maldives?

Well, I understand that Bush and Kearsarge are listed as being in the Atlantic, but only one of 'em is CVAN/part of a Battle Group and none of those guys like to spend too much time "riding at anchor".

Real hard to conduct Flight Ops, y'know. Which makes everybody tense. They're just too big a target if they sit still for too long.

You wouldn't care to share where you got that tidbit, would you?

It was a joke, old son, and an extension of the other guy's joke about Oblivet confusing the "Malvinas" (Falklands) with the Maldives, which are in a different ocean.
