-potentially big news.

Yeah, for the crew of the carrier being relieved and heading for home. In this case the Lincoln.

Well if Roosevelt and Reagan relieve the Lincoln . . . and i think my math is right here . . . that would mean we are rotating in 2 carriers and pulling out the only one we currently have in the Gulf . . . A 2 carrier prescence in the Gulf, where we have only had a 1 carrier prescence for the last 8-12 months would be big news.

I seriously doubt we will keep all 3 on station, but we could briefly have a window where 3 carriers would be within strike range of Iran
