WASHINGTON - The Associated Press

The aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis is scheduled to leave the United States this month for the Gulf region in a Naval buildup aimed partly as a warning to Iran. Officials decided to send the Stennis strike group on top of a carrier group already in the region on a request late last year from the U.S. Central Command, the military unit in charge of activities there as well as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a senior Pentagon official said Thursday

Maybe your Green Zone PR releases forgot to tell you about the 5,000-6000 Navy types and ships being added to the gulf :rofl:
