Well

 thx for telling us what we already knew there guys,,,

Satellite Photos Show US Carrier Strike Groups in Middle East Hotspot

"Latest satellite images appeared to show two United States Navy carrier strike groups were operating in different areas of waters in the Middle East amid rising tensions between its ally Israel and Iran.'

"Both the West Coast-based American carrier strike groups, led by USS Theodore Roosevelt and its sister ship, USS Abraham Lincoln, were retasked from scheduled deployments in the Western Pacific Ocean as part of the Pentagon's plan of increasing military presence in the Middle East."

(As previously mentioned here

thats why Taiwan came to town yo)

"These two 100,000-ton nuclear-powered Nimitz-class aircraft carriers can carry over 60 combat aircraft of various types, including fighter jets, airborne early warning aircraft, and helicopters."

"One of the fighter jet squadrons embarked on the Abraham Lincoln operates the fifth-generation, stealthy F-35C "Lightning II," which is being viewed as the most advanced carrier-based aircraft."

(And its home port was on the West Coast probably anticipating a showdown over Taiwan since it would be closer etc...Best laid plans etc...Go to the Middle East and hurry etc...)

"Open-source satellite imagery captured on Tuesday appeared to show the Theodore Roosevelt in the Gulf of Oman, which lies between the Arabian Sea to the east and the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf to the west. The aircraft carrier has been operating in the Middle East since July 12."

"The Abraham Lincoln was underway in the Gulf of Aden on Monday and heading toward the Red Sea with three destroyer escorts. This is the first time a U.S. Navy carrier strike group was spotted in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea since USS Dwight D. Eisenhower left the region in June."

"The U.S. Naval Institute-run USNI News, which tracks ships of the U.S. Navy, 

(Again thx guys, never knew.)

also confirmed the current locations of the two aircraft carriers on Tuesday. Destroyers USS John S. McCain and USS Daniel Inouye are assigned to the Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group, according to the report.

(The USS John S. McCain's commanding officer was just recently relieved of his command BTW (Aug 30th I believe it was.)

"Meanwhile, three destroyers are under the command of the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group. They are USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., USS Spruance, and USS O'Kane, USNI News reported."

"The surging presence of aircraft carriers to the Middle East has left a "carrier gap" in the Western Pacific Ocean to keep China and North Korea at bay. The Pentagon said it remained appropriately postured for emergencies in Asia and the Middle East, saying "we can walk and chew gum at the same time."

(That might be a lil easier to buy

if the commanding officers of your ships 

knew which way the scope went on a rifle.

OUR CARRIER FLEET IS BEING STRETCHED THIN

AND IT ISNT AN ACCIDENT.

ARE YOU READY?

IS YOUR SOUL

REALLY READY?

ARE YOU PREPARED?

TO GIVE IT ALL TO HIM?

"WE OFFER OURSELVES IN PRAISE AS A HOLY AND LIVING SACFRIFICE"

We say at our church in the communion liturgy.

Did you mean it?

Shame on you if you ever went to church and sang songs and said things that you didn't mean.

The good news is?

There is still time

to accept Christ 

as lord and savior,

to ask for forgiveness,

and to turn from your wicked ways.

But you might wanna hurry...

Times running out.
