But it shouldn't potentially compromise operations, right? Am I too old? If we do this, it isn't a popcorn moment where US soldiers are putting their lives at risk. If we go, hunt in the dark brothers and come home safely...

More than likely we want Iran to know there's a carrier nearby

Our media is still focused on Nancy Guthrie. We will be safe for a while.

It's weird right? The morning of the El Paso shutdown, which was unprecedented, it was only getting a brief mention while all the rest of the talking was on the non-existent updates in the Nancy case.

Iran intel undoubtedly knew and plenty Americans with mediocre clearance surely knew...

Having this leaked in the press is intentional for the public to know, so that pressure is put on someone (likely Iran to fall in line).

Kind of hard to keep an aircraft carrier a secret.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Not here. But there are a lot of smarmy posts while men and women in our jersey are fighting the fight. God speed to each and every one.

This. 15-20 years ago, if we really wanted to make a country pucker we would deploy one of our subs that we equipped with a plethora of tomahawks.

I can't imagine what kind of deterrent we have now.

We used to do stuff in the 1980's like sneaking a carrier (USS America CV-66) in Norwegian fjords behind storm fronts, etc to operate close to the Russian border. Admittedly, the sat coverage has improved 10-fold, but I bet we have a few tricks left up our sleeve if we really wanted to.


Today, unfortunately, many Americans have good reason to fear that they will be victimized if they are unable to protect themselves. And today, no less than in 1791, the Second Amendment guarantees their right to do so. - Justice Samuel Alito 2022

From the "how we found it" portion:

"I have been trying to pin down the location of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln ever since the US Navy announced three weeks ago that it had entered the Gulf region."

So we announced it was there three weeks ago, then this guy used a program to scour satellite imagery to confirm that at some unspecified time relatively recently, it was in fact there.
