Thanks for the information.

Are we missing something here?  The last time we had this many ships with only a couple or so at sea, was during world war two.  Looks suspect to me.  This is what another person had to say.

Something Is Very Wrong with this Picture

The aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), USS Enterprise (CVN-65), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) are in port at Naval Station Norfolk, Va. US Navy Photo

Four of ten of our aircraft carriers are in port at the Naval Station in Norfolk, VA at this time. USS Washington is docked at its home port of Yokosuka, Japan.It appears that only two (Nimitz and Stennis) out of ten aircraft carriers are deployed at this time.

I would point out some thoughts on this matter:

1. If the bulk of our naval aircraft carriers are sitting idle, we have too many ships.

2. This brings to mind the conspiracy theories surrounding Pearl Harbor.

3. Our national security is at risk by our commander-in-chief.

The reasons given for this situation do not make any sense at this time. Tensions in the Middle East, Japan, China, Russia and North Korea have not been higher than now. At least this will provide the president plausible deniability when the next Benghazi plea for help comes.

Now what do you think?

The Chinese have never ever projected force like Geo H.W.Bush did to kick Sadam's butt out of Kuwait.. It would be a joke for them to even try. Also, these carriers of ours don't sit in the desert, they are always steaming at 40 miles per hour or so Most Americans don't know what a Shield our Carriers have. We used to be buzzed in open sea by the old Russian Bear Bombers, they would fly right over our ship in the pacific. We could have killed  them all at over a hundred miles, but we let them buzz us. Our greatest threat sits in the White House and he's a stiking treasonous snake. We really need to shake the Republicans to begin Impeachment before we lose our nation folkes.

AND, we should stop training their engineers.

What good do 5 CVNs do the USofA in port. They would have to steam half way round the world to mix it up with the Chinese. Take a long time and would probably be late for the party. RE the DF-21D as a carrier killer, unless the warhead was nuclear the circular error probability would be larger than the ship could move in half the missals flight time.

The report also stated that the DF-16 is capable of defeating U.S.-made Patriot missile batteries that are deployed at U.S. and Japanese military bases in the region. The DF-16 is said to be armed with multiple warheads.

The Chinese are very capable of defeating our electronic protection systems with a lot of help from our own universities training them. The Chinese have a higher percentage of engineers than the United States. I am surprised at some of the comments marginalizing this threat.

Let's see then!  As long as we don't park our ships in the Gobi Desert we're okay?

The desert, with a mock up of a Us Carrier, is as close as they'll ever get.

The Navy made plans for this weapon in the 70's.  It will fail.   Aegis fleet Protection

The United States Navy is not a ship painted in the desert.  Many variables to overcome to find it and then the Aegis system.
