They can probably make good with a salvo of SM-2ER4 or SM-3 launched from a cruiser.

Because of the Cooperative Engagement System, the cruiser or destroyer can use the data stream from a Hawkeye or Hornet nearby to provide guidance if the engagement is beyond AEgis range,

I'd say if you want to get on their nerves, send Predator UAVs on a continuous cover over 80,000 feet.

Im not saying WE attack, im just saying its sending a real message. Like bringing a UFC fighter to a place you think you may have trouble in.

Yes,

This is a gun pointed at Iran's head.

Hope the message gets through loud and clear.

Without any connection to the steam plant, they have been put aft where they are more helpful with landing operations.

Am I wrong, or have the Carrier's Islands been slowly moved aft over the years? Seems to me they were much further forward when I was a sailor. Is there a reason for this?

along with an amphibious assault ship and her own group - they are doing war games practicing a landing in Kuwait within the next few days.

I have heard that two CVAs have moved into the Arabian Sea.
Can anyone confirm this?
