WAR Where Are The Carriers?

[IronMan 2]

So, I was nosy this morning and I googled the current location of US Aircraft carriers. I understand the need for certain secrecy (why should the USN tell Google where their ships are if those ships are in the backyard of a potential enemy that cooks Chinese food?). It looks like there are currently no carriers in the South China Sea, but Nimitz is in Guam and Reagan in Tokyo, Vinson at Pearl Harbor and Washington is off Brisbane. So not all that far away if anything happened to happen...

Nimitz: Guam
Dwight D. Eisenhower: At sea, just off the coast near Norfolk Naval Station, VA (may be operating with Ford)
Carl Vinson: Pearl Harbor
Theodore Roosevelt: Puget Sound, WA
Abraham Lincoln: At sea, off the coast of San Diego, CA
George Washington: At sea near Brisbane, Australia
John C. Stennis: Norfolk Naval Station, VA
Harry S. Truman: Norfolk Naval Shipyard, VA
Ronald Reagan: Tokyo Bay, Japan
George H. W. Bush: Adriatic Sea, off the coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia
Gerald R. Ford: At sea, just off the coast near Norfolk Naval Station, VA (may be operating with Eisenhower).

San Francisco would be fitting…

All probably as far away from the local hypersonic missile bases /carriers as they can get...

Oh, dont tell me it "went down."

It needed the poop deck swabbed for some reason.

Although a rumor is adrift it has decided to identify as a high tech star wars space station.

Maybe like Buttigieg, it decided to go "battle dress."

Like Dukakis in the tank, I think that is the definition of a "poser."

So where are his "work gloves?"

“HE” has a latex fetish and they had trouble finding “work gloves” in RED LATEX for butt boy peety?

A week or so ago, CBS Evening News had Norah O'Donnell on the Nimitz for two nights. That thing is huge.

"Work" gloves?

I doubt there's a speck of dirt, or a worn thread on anything he's wearing. Even the shoes, perhaps, may have a few hundred feet of wear on them.

Meh. In a real war, carriers, just like paratroopers, have been rendered obsolete.
