Sea Trials just before deployment.
She'll be underway on a WestPac within two weeks.
She could be in a supporting role in the IO within 6 weeks.
If Naval deployments matter, and if the US KNOWS when Israel will strike, this portends a strike around the middle or end of August.

"aqueous foam forming film (AFFF)"
It's been 15 years, but I believe "A triple F" is "aqueous FILM forming FOAM"...

I remember back in 1975 when the brand new Nimitz tied up opposite my ship,the USS Independence,to Pier 13 (or 14? memory has faded some) in Norfolk Va. Didn’t get to tour her though,we had to leave for our Med cruise.
I felt so sorry for her crew,all pop tall spit and polish until the next show boat is commissioned.
Then they could relax and be regular slobs like the rest of us.

SONOBUOY PING!
Click on pic for past Navair pings.
Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

With the planes situated on deck as they are, and a serious threat took place, how long would it take the planes to get airborne?
