3 complete strike groups, if real, means only 1 thing.

That's why they call him Ronnie Ray Gun! 

Huh..that is a significant amount of firepower. Have we ever needed more than 3 nimitz class CBGs in one area for..anything?

Really we had 4? 2 in the med 2 in the gulf? Seems like it would get crowded.

Would that be such a great idea to have that many of our carriers in one area at a time?

3 groups.

yeah sailors for now but that much firepower tends to involve Soldiers, Airmen, and Marines too.  Maybe not right away but soon enough.

looks like Trump wants to get it on.

So whats the gameplan if it actually comes to itshappening.gif? Insanely large coordinated barrage of cruise missiles from every ship and sub in the area to disable as much anti-air as possible immediately followed by a massive air bombing campaign on all known nork arty positions and strategic targets. Land invasion?

Im all for blowing the fuck out of lil Kim and his fatty friends but an occupation sounds shitty right now after the recent debacles of Iraq and Afghanistan. Again someone will need to do a ground occupation and I don't want it to be the Chinese and im not sure the South Korea can handle it by themselves.

I think they're actually less than 10 surface ships per group now, with usually at least 1 submarine attached.

Yes but how many ESGs are in the area? I'd think that'd be a bigger indication of something about to kick off.

USS Ronald Regan is stationed in Japan, so it's often in that area anyway... meh news.

And I think the USS Nimitz is still at San Diego doing sea trial training stuff.

Fake news.

I do t know if it's real but I would imagine the plan would be an overwhelming decapitating strike.  Probably kill Lil Kim right away. I doubt once he is dead his lmilitary leadership would be interested in a one on one with Uncle Sam.
