U.S. NAVAL INSTITUTE STAFF JUNE 9, 2025 1:51 PM - UPDATED: JUNE 11, 2025 7:13 PM

In cases in which a CSG or ARG is conducting disaggregated operations, the chart reflects the location of the capital ship.

This tells me the USN realizes its carriers are obsolete against Iran or China. Get the Vinson out of there now.
Naval surface combatants within the Persian Gulf are at grave risk. Iran’s southern shores are fortified with stealthy shore to ship batteries. A desperate regime might feel it has nothing to lose by attacking American ships and facilities in the Gulf states.
Sure, an enemy can obtain knowledge as easy as you can, but why do their work for them?

No.
Not at all.
They know exactly where everything we have is. Like the Ukes, Iran has helpful friends. Both Russia and China are strategic partners of Iran. The neocons and MIC have sold most Americans a bill goods. Our stuff isn’t that good. Ukraine is the definitive proof of that. Last fall the Iranians showed they could attack any site in Israel. They had 33 confirmed missile strikes in Nevatim AFB. This won’t be quick or easy. American boys dying at Bibi’s request will ruin Trump’s presidency.

CVN-75 Truman was last reported to be in the Mediterranean.
Do you believe freely available public information is accurate?
Always has been before. You should check out YouTube for the guys filming every ship leaving every harbor.
Do you really think you can hide an aircraft carrier from Russia and China? In this situation Iran’s strategic partners have already shared this and much more.
Can you recall any previous crisis when we didn’t flood the area with carriers?
Exactly.
This tells me that POTUS is not going to go in for the kill.
smh
I’m sorry you are unclear on the concept. I hope you were never in the military or worked for a defense contractor.
Iran’s buddies Hamas just killed American hostages.
