ago, when we last tracked the progress of the third US aircraft carrier,
CVN-74 Stennis, with destination Arabian Gulf, aka Iran, we reported that it was

CVN-65 Enterprise, has decided to take a bit of a break and left the Arabian
Gulf area for a scehduled R&R port visit in Naples, Italy. In a week or so,

point the US will finally have three aircraft carriers just off the Iranian
coastline ready to rumble..."
