Navy deploys 3 more(?) aircraft carriers
2004-07-05
Three aircraft carriers and their escort ships and submarines are sailing in Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic waters this summer as part of the Navy quick-response exercise Summer Pulse ’04.
As you might remember, it was reported that SEVEN ACGs were headed to the Pacific for this same exercise. http://tinyurl.com/37r46 . Is this a total of 10 groups being deployed or 3 of the 7? If it is 10, red flags will be going up all over the place.

#9  I think they should have named it Sphincter Pulse - so that a more unambiguous message is delivered.

#6  It's more than a little comforting to consider how America will now have afloat more functional arms and delivery vehicles than most countries can rally from their complete inventory. I like that.
It just gives us a nice warm feeling, all over, doesn't it?

#3  The list of the 7 groups taking part in Summer Pulse '04 is on the sidebar of your link. The three called out are listed in the sidebar already, hence it's still 7 & not 10.
