This is, looking at the past weeks, the standard phrase for 'We are bringing everything in position' I'm sure all the nations involved had a sylvester party, in which they decided 'Hey let's all all move our whole military equipment to one place in the beginning of march, it will surely be fun to read, what the media makes out of it', that's why now all these plans existed for months and no changed needed to be made! | ||

The super-carrier USS George W. Bush plus seventeen other ships and three submarines passed through the Aegean sea this afternoon. The George W. Bush is carrying 90 aircraft and helicopters of various types, including several squadron's of F-22 Raptors, the most advanced combat aircraft in the world. The submarines each have twenty four missile silos, with each silo housing a missile armed with eight separate nuclear warheads which operate as MIRV's (Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicles) that can be independently targeted. Since when did USN carriers house F-22s? On March 04 2014 18:49 Cheerio wrote: Not sure if this was posted before but there is information a US carrier strike group was in the Aegean Sea heading for the Black sea. 17 ships and 3 submarines involved. And how are you going to get a carrier into the Black Sea? Transport it by medivac? Sarcasm aside, the 6th fleet always rotates in the med with a standard escort, it's not particularly news. The Russians would no doubt have eyes on the carrier already (not that they can do anything about it). | ||

Turkey would probably be more than happy to have a flattop in there regardless of whatever treaty supposedly prohibits it. Problems getting into the Black Sea. That channel isn't particularly friendly for big ships to traverse through. | ||
