    What will that mean exactly? Is the US going to scramble fighters to Gaza? Who are we presumably engaging using our most advanced navel vessel?

        Although this sounds reasonable, the Carriers were supposed to be deployed in the Mediterranean anyways. They’d normally be near the Balkans or so, now they are further east, but still - the crews would’ve been deployed the entire time in any case.

      Israel (or Netanjahu, at least), doesn’t care that much about Gaza. It’s 15km wide and 40km large, you don’t need several us carrier strike groups for that.

      I say we will see Israel atrack Lebanon, Syria or select targets in Iran, and the American and British ships are there to have Israel’s back in case things go awry.

      Edit aaaaand just now came the news that the Guys attacked to bases of the Iranian revolutionary guards in Syria.
