    The new leader of Iran seems to be making overture to peace. Despite the geopolitics, carrier battle groups don’t stay on station at sea all the time.

      What?

      There was one there for 9 months before this one showed up, and another is probably already on its way if not there already.

      9 month rotations aren’t even that long or abnormal

        The point is there are always rotations. People always like to give meaning to them, but there always rotations

          Having a carrier group posted up for a year is abnormal tho…

          You’re trying to make one point when the opposite is true.

          Usually it’s just a LHD and a handful of other ships
