"30 knots"

The rest of the Battle Group cannot sustain 30 knots while crossing the Atlantic. With unrep time and rough seas, double your time estimate.........best case.

Additionally, the Suez may not be considered a prudent route during these challenging times and I suspect we'll have to add another 5,000 miles to get around the cape.

Still, it'd be awesome to see the world's finest blue-water navy put 6-8 carrier battle groups on station in 30 days.

Our enemies will shake in fear.

A willing foe, and sea room are all we need...
