Hum. Seems like Obama is lining up all our carriers in dock just like Roosevelt lined up all the aircraft in the airfields at Pearl harbor. It sure looks that way.

Couple that with his crazed intent in pulling the USA in to a conflict with Russia, ya really got to wonder what is on his mind.

I am literally anticipating the next twenty days to be the most perilous in any living memory.

I’m guessing someone who can’t even pronounce corpsmen correctly has no idea where our carriers are. Maybe not even what they are.

I was just wandering around on the Ronald Reagan at Yokosuka on Tuesday (OMFG, it is SO FREAKING AWESOME!! Thank you Commander and Ensign, y’all rock!). It’s in for a touch up job and various repairs, but should be out on deployment in a few months. That’s crazy that we don’t have one carrier deployed now. Way to go, Barry’O, you freakin’ pansy putz. FUBO!

That Nut that is the Secretary of Defense probably just wanted to get all his Sailors Sensitivity training completed by the end of the year.

Although Billy Carter’s brother didn’t do anything as stupid as this... This is how un-easing it felt during the longest 4 years in American history.

But just think of all the fuel savings! It's so good for the economy. It's so good for the planet!

What? You don't buy those arguments?

This has happened before from what I have read, and is not that out of ordinary.

"But for the first week of this year, for the first time since World War II, no U.S. aircraft carriers were deployed, ..."

My son is on a carrier. Left on deployment yesterday. Jan 5th falls within the first week of this year.

Russia and France have more aircraft carriers deployed at this time than we do.

I’ll bet our SSNs, SSGNs, and SSBNs were on station. In truth, carriers are quickly becoming very expensive targets. The Ford doesn’t work, nor do the DDG-1000 or LCS. Foreign navies with SSKs and long-range supersonic missiles have greatly reduced the survivability of our fleet.

Total BS. Aircraft were grouped together in anticipation of possible sabotage by infiltrators, and a smaller area is more efficiently guarded. Everyone knew there was a possibility of an attack, but not when or by what means or forces. Blaming Roosevelt for that is as valid as blaming G.W. Bush for 9/11. Which some whackadoos do, still.

The CVs are in four geographically widely separated locations, including one forward-deployed in Japan.

We all need to be careful of “news sites” like the Propaganda Guard that rehash old news and don’t check for current updates.

The USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) carrier strike group (CSG) sailed from San Diego, California, on 5 January for a deployment to the Western Pacific region and Indo-Pacific theatre security co-operation efforts.

Accompanying the carrier will be the embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, embarked assets from Destroyer Squadron 1, the CG 47 Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain (CG 57), and the DDG 51 Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) and USS Wayne E Meyer (DDG 108).
