    Dam! I hate to see stories like this one;
    "The aircraft carrier USS John Stennis operated in the Persian Gulf twice during its recent deployment, for three weeks earlier this year and a week in early April."

    A tight body of water like the Persian Gulf is nowhere to send a Carrier!

    I wonder if anyone did or even would order a Carrier to operate in that ditch known as the Persian Gulf?

    It’s similar, I’m afraid, to the Turkish members of my team in AFG. The ones who have had contact with the West disappear under bad regimes.
