Ten US Navy Carriers Now At Sea - Only Two In Port USS Carl Vinson Has Gone Out
Now At Sea - Only Two In Port
6-10-4
From: http://www.rense.com/general53/port.htm
This brings the number of carriers over the horizon to 10.
This would prove to be a most COSTLY exercise if in fact this is ONLY an exercise.
OR,Are they all on emergency operational deployment???
Of the remaining 2 carriers only USS Nimitz is deployable as the USS Eisenhower is having its nuclear power plant refuelled and will be out of commission for several years.
USS Carl Vinson goes out.

Notice how the article says that the seven carriers deployed represent every carrier that is seaworthy. When in reality there are now 10 carriers at sea. Completely unprecedented.
