US Aircraft Carriers are strategic assets. Historically, any act of war committed against them required a nuclear response. There was a photo posted somewhere last week showing about 5 or 6 aircraft carriers docked in a row there in Norfolk Naval Station.. Tight little target for Putin or that Iranian warship off the east coast.

All there on at the instruction of Obama ?

All but one of those lined-up carriers was in various states of de-activation or overhaul. The Enterprise was one-—decommissioned some time ago. There’s another row just like that at Puget Sound NS. All being retired- and disassembled. It’s notable that we have a larger fleet of de-activated carriers than the rest of the world has working ones. And if push came to shove the process could be reversed in days. The real question for a dumbass enemy is wheretheflock are the working ones?
