US Carrier -
Which would leave it in a good position to evacuate diplomats from Islamabad?

#3 It also puts it in a place where it's hard for Iran to attack it, Pappy. Not sure that has anything to do with the move, but it's a possibility. I think the US knows the Iranians are up to something, and are moving the pieces to confuse the issue, among other things. I would double those suspicions if a second carrier showed up.
