Our Military Leadership Appears TO BE A.W.O.L.!

[C_Hallbert]

Due to the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln to the Middle East, the U.S. Navy has no operational aircraft carriers in the Pacific​

“The U.S. Navy is facing a shortage of operational aircraft carriers in the Pacific, largely due to the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) from the 7th Fleet to the 5th Fleet in the Middle East. This deployment decision followed a phone call between U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a preemptive strike against Hezbollah on August 25.”

I’m sure our Red Chinese friends are thinking: “ConfuseUs Say: Time to strike while stupid enemy is sleeping!”

Dang, any advice from you on what they need to be doing?

We lost some good military leaders under Obama, they remained true to our values so they were fired. What we have now is "yes men."

Of the 11 active carriers, it looks like four are in the yard for maintenance (Bush, Ford, Stennis, Nimitz), two are preparing for deployments (Truman, Vinson), two are in the Gulf of Oman (Lincoln, Roosevelt), one is in San Diego preparing to go to Japan (Washington), one is in Virginia (Eisenhower), and one is in Bremerton, WA (Reagan).

It’s interesting that Nimitz is in maintenance, as she’s reaching the end of her designed service life and is slated for retirement this next fiscal year.

The replacement for Nimitz, launches this week. I remember reading something about this.

Launches vs commissioned and available is years.

The new JFK, if I'm remembering the naming order correctly. After this is Enterprise and then Doris Miller, I can actually get behind that last one. The man positively clanked when he walked.

But, but, it's the one that almost got to stop WWII!
