[GATOR NAVY]

I can remember when the Navy said they never wanted to have a Carrier task force in the Arabian Sea. Moving into this location could be a huge disaster because of the lack of space to maneuver.

I think you are confusing the Arabian (Persian) Gulf with the Arabian Sea. The latter is basically the NW Indian Ocean. Plenty of sea room.

Thanks. You are absolutely correct. Too many years since the 80’s.
