#6   Says 60 Superhornets took off from the Truman CBG.
Fleet carriers have about 80 aircraft of all types, iirc.
Would that include as many as 60 Superhornets?
Is that a standard load out?
Or is that an error?
Or a special arrangement for a one-time mission?
Or were there two carriers in the
CBG?



It's an error. Most of the fleet is looking for the Methane Bubble.

#5  See also JPOST > US:IRAN SANCTIONS STARTING TO BITE.

IMO MOUD = IRAN escalating their Nucprogs is a given - the real issue is will Tehran or Islamist Militant proxies pull a "CHEONAN" ala North Korea???

#3  I agree wid #1.

However, Iran hath made it clear that one of its retaliatory options in the aftermath of a US or US-Israeli strike on Iran will be to unleash Terror agz US, Israeli targets.

And then there's KIMMIE = NORTH KOREA > since IRAN isn't stopping its Enrichment towards NucWeapons-grade Nucmats, SHOULD WE EXPECT THE NOKORS TO STOP "CHEONAN"-STYLE-OR-WORSE MIL INCIDENTS. PITTING THE MAJOR NUKE POWERS AGZ EACH OTHER???
