#4 I wish these reporters would get their act together. The Trenton (LPD-14) is not an "amphibious carrier"; those are LHAs and LHDs. The Trenton has a flight deck, but can only operate one or two helecopters at a time. What it does have is lots of berthing for troops and command and control spaces as well as landing craft and vehicle/equipment storage space. Also, recent rumor had it that the Indian Navy was interested in buying the Trenton. Its possible that we might let the Indians "try before buy" at some point during the cruise.

#6 Agree wid Steve - with the Spetzlamists striking all along the world's vital trade and oil routes, it behooves Dubya & Company to secure the accesses to and from the Persian Gulf and support routes. Don't think its INDIA becuz such ops is still too advanced for its Navy yet - they're still getting used to having both modern + reliable equipment.
