    they haven't turned over yet...

    The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) (IKE) weighed anchor in the Bay of Naples, Italy, on Oct. 21, following a successful four-day port visit. IKE’s crew enjoyed opportunities to tour the surrounding areas, conduct a reception in the ship’s Hangar Bay and provide tours for Italian and American citizens in the area.

    The Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) departed Norfolk, Va., on Oct. 3rd for a regularly scheduled deployment in support of maritime security operations (MSO). IKE and the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Anzio (CG 68) pulled in to Naples on Oct. 17th for their first port visit of the deployment.

    THis is the group that just left Norfolk, and yes, it can fit in the Suez Canal.

    See you at the debate, bitches!
