So the right wing what bribed the irish press to run the story do you hear yourself wow,
Yes....England would be the perfect choice...even though he's in Northern Ireland, a completely different country to England. Being a Scot (that's what we call someone from Scotland BTW, another completely different country to England). I would thoroughly recommend if anything bad ever happens to Obama...please feel free to let loose with a big fat Trident south of the Watford Gap (England) a completely different country than both Northern Ireland and Scotland..
P.s. Wales is another completely different country to all three mentioned above.
Because in theory if there's an attempt, they can helicopter him out to the carrier, stuff him in the back of an F/A-18 and fly him back to the US

2 carriers with 10,000 people not counting the other ships in a carrier battle group because carriers don't travel alone. with 180 aircraft is TOO MUCH.
It is a serious missallocation of resources.edit on 17-6-2013 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

Yeah
I'd rather see carrier battle groups actually protecting people who are more worthy.
A potus with his army already on the ground in a friendly country doesn't rate that 'overkill'.

They would have to be LHDs. All the LHA class, except Peleliu have been decommissioned, but she's out of San Diego, and just got back home from the 5th Fleet AOR in mid-May.
Reagan and Vinson are both at sea in EASTPAC doing workups, so they could be in the area in about a week or so.
