USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS John C. Stennis
These are the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS John C. Stennis, two of the ten nuclear-powered Nimitz-class aircraft supercarriers in service with the United States Navy. TheLincolnjust arrived to theStrait of Hormuzas tension keeps mounting up in the area.
She has joined the USS Carl Vinson as the USS John Stennis leaves to the Pacific, according to the Pentagon. It’s nice that the Navy got to show off three carriers in the same area simultaneously, though. Not that Ahmadinejad and his cronies didn’t know that the US had ten of these, but it’s different to see the three of them right in your backyard than just knowing about them. I’m sure that made them a little bit uncomfortable.
