P!
Biggest news of the day. We don’t send three carrier groups anywhere.
-AiT
The Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu are looking upwards wondering what is hapnin’.
I don’t think any other country has more than two. i think that’s why three.

It’s possible that three groups were sent, but that would be unnecessary for dealing with North Korea alone. ...sufficient security against anything that might arise from elsewhere, perhaps. And well,...you know...Sputnik. ;-D
I know that you know about Sputnik, TLR, and that you found a better source in the ROK. This is for others who might not know.

That’s pretty sizeable. Then again it’s “Sputnik News”.
Hmmm. Anyone got updates on ship movements?
Lots of submarines patrolling that part of the world.
Very dangerous.
Yes, never trust Sputnik:
USS Nimitz Public Affairs Apr 14, 2017
Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11 is currently undergoing their final pre-deployment assessment, Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), marking the completion of their condensed Inter-Deployment Training Cycle (IDTC) for an upcoming deployment slated for this year.
The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) completed a nearly two-year yard period at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in September of last year. Since then they have undergone sea trials, Tailored Ship’s Training Availability (TSTA) I, TSTA II, TSTA III, Final Evaluation Phase and the Board of Inspection and Survey.
According to this article, a “Chinese military expert” said that two carriers were in the area. ...interesting propaganda efforts, by the way.
North Korea’s failed missile launch premeditated?

I love President Trump, but he said our military is "getting stronger every day."
In one sense he is correct, because he is a tremendous improvement from the Homosexual Muslim Marxist.
But in another sense, the military budget is in dire straights. We are still operating under a Continuing Resolution, with no budget because Congress will not do their job.
The Air Force chief of staff recently decided to tell the truth and came out from behind politics:
In the Air Force, we still havent recovered from round one of sequester budget cuts, he said. The most dramatic development would come in late July, when all squadrons that are not deployed or training for imminent deployment will stop flying.
A half of a Trillion dollars in HUD money has been found "missing" during an audit ordered by Dr. Ben Carson.
The Obama years are still a cancer upon this nation.
Wars are "come as you are" these days.
It takes decades for new weapon systems to come on line. It take months or even years for new munitions to be resupplied in the depots.
A real war will be a real wake up call for the American people.
Trump said he was sending an “armada”.
How is it public knowledge where one, much less three of our carriers are heading?
The Sea of Japan is getting crowded above, on the surface, and below.
That’s good to know. If Fat Boi tries to nuke one carrier group, there will be two others to take him out.
Active Duty ping.
