| Something going on with North Korea that hasn’t "leaked" out to the media yet? The US Navy is deploying the USS Nimitz to the Western Pacific. This will be the third such carrier lead strike forces in the same region. |

| #10 After noodling around, the story I've got several places is the Vinson battle group has had a couple of 'minor to serious kinda' engineering causualties and the Nimitz group (that was supposed to leave for the Persian Gulf as of 6/1) has been sent as relief. The probs aren't on the big boat, but some of the Aegis boats are chugging along, and they're the ones needed front and center at the moment. |

| #8 Actually, in the case of North Korea, a nuke with "Fuck Yeah" stenciled on the side would be appropriate. My only concern is figuring out a way to vaporize Fat Boy and his cabal of geriatric generals and most of the army with out killing all of those poor bastards that eat grass and bark to live. |

| #7 IIRC, it has long been the Navy's policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard any particular vessel. Except SSBNs, of course. |

| #6 Strangely enough, if you check the Navy's info page online, the Nimitz isn't listed underway. (Vinson, Bush, Reagan.) |

| #5 I think he means the ones that have "Well, bye!" stenciled on the side. |

| #4 If by goodies you mean nukes, they all have them. When I was in the Navy, albeit 37 years ago, all carriers had real weapons on board, on every deployment. |

| #3 ...For reasons I won't get into, I'll say Nimitz - IF they're sending any. Mike |
