U.S.S. Nimitz Heads For Persian Gulf
Nimitz Leaves For Persian Gulf
The U.S. aircraft carrier Nimitz and its support ships will set sail from the United States for the Persian Gulf joining another aircraft carrier strike group in the region.
The nuclear-powered carrier will join the John C. Stennis Strike Group and relieve carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower, according to a news release from the Pentagon.
The Nimitz's departure comes following the detention of 15 British sailors and marines operating in Iran's territorial waters last week.
Once deployed, the Nimitz Strike Group will also patrol the Horn of Africa and conduct marine security operations as part of the larger effort to "deter and dissuade others from acting counter to U.S. national interests," the Pentagon said.
The group also includes guided-missile cruiser Princeton, guided-missile destroyers Higgins, Chafee, John Paul Jones and Pinckney, two helicopter squadrons and an explosive ordnance disposal unit.

That's not all the Nimitz is going to force Iran to do :-) Still waiting to see the Hostages in the Air though.

I'm reserving my comments on the freeing of the British Hostages in Iran until they are in the air!
I am hoping that the sending of the Nimitz to combine with the Nimitz Class Carriers,,Eisenhower and Stennis is why Amadinijad is releasing the POW's so that we are getting this out of a position of strength and not because of some behined the view screen deal that swaps something for the POW's which only shows weakness in the fanatic Islam mind.
By the way, I have my new article up that follows the thread of our e-mails
Ken,
I hope so too.
Either way the Nimitz is heading there and there wont be a damn thing Iran can do about it.
I'll be damned if they wont shoot if the Iranians try to take some Americans POW or Hostage or whatever we are calling it now.
