#1 Well, if Iran had plans of controlling the persian gulf they're too late now.

#5 Nice to see that the USS Cole has been invited to the party. Let's hope they get a chance to return the hurt favor.

#6 Let me get this straight... just so I understand... there are now three carrier groups in the Persian Gulf? Just checking for facts. And how many days to election day?

What is that question all US Presidents are suppose to ask, when trouble get stirred up? "Where are the carriers?"

#7 According to the Navy's site, which they sometimes "forget" to update LOL, also in the Persian Gulf is the USS Saipan, an amphibious warfare ship. Uncle Sam's Misguided Children will have a short helo hop to the shoreline from it.

#8 I doubt the Eisenhower and Enterprise strike groups will actually enter the Persian Gulf. That would be rather assinine. Standing by in the Arabian Sea would do quite nicely. I'd also check and see what's happening in the Med. Having another carrier battle group off Lebanon wouldn't be a bad thing.

#9 The Eisenhower is in the Med, OP, listed as of yesterday as on port visit in Naples.

The Enterprise CSG, the Iwo Jima and Nashville ESGs and the Saipan are listed as in "the Persian Gulf", but of course that's just the general region, at least for the carriers.

#10 IMHO - the cruise-missile carrying Subs will be there to start the fireworks - and you'll never hear about before it happens. As it should be
