Eisenhower battle group
Last night, I learned the naval battle group Eisenhower has recently left Norfolk Virginia and is heading for Iran. Seems all this information is readily available on the navy website. Shhh... don't tell the Iranians... lol

Now called "Dwight D. Eisenhower Strike* Group". Has quite a few alloted capabilities including but not limited to implementing blockades. That ship is nuke powered and can move about 30 kts.

Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group Deploys
Story Number: NNS061003-32

From USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs
ABOARD USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (NNS) -- Nearly 6,500 Sailors departed Oct. 3 with the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) Carrier Strike Group (IKE CSG) on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of maritime security operations (MSO).
Commanded by Rear Adm. Allen G. Myers, commander, Carrier Strike Group (CCSG) 8, IKE CSG includes the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower, with its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7, and embarked Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 28; the guided-missile cruiser USS Anzio (CG 68); guided-missile destroyers USS Ramage (DDG 61) and USS Mason (DDG 87); and the fast-attack submarine USS Newport News (SSN 750), all homeported in Norfolk, Va.[more]

As Time writes in its cover story, "What Would War Look Like?," evidence of the forward deployment of minesweepers and word that the chief of naval operations had asked for a reworking of old plans for mining Iranian harbors "suggest that a much discussed--but until now largely theoretical--prospect has become real: that the U.S. may be preparing for war with Iran."
According to Lieut. Mike Kafka, a spokesman at the headquarters of the Second Fleet, based in Norfolk, Virginia, the Eisenhower Strike Group, bristling with Tomahawk cruise missiles, has received orders to depart the United States in a little over a week. Other official sources in the public affairs office of the Navy Department at the Pentagon confirm that this powerful armada is scheduled to arrive off the coast of Iran on or around October 21.[full story]

Buzz is possible "Iran-sponsored" "terrorist bombing" event to preceed/'provoke'/precipitate attack on Iran. Just in time for the elections, huh? Wonder if the World Series will get interrupted by a news flash? The threat of "revenge" could be taken as an open-yet-veiled declaration of war by Iran.
Not only is rumor of particular subs being assigned to "mideast". Reported buildup of U.S. Navy (even US Coast Guard deployments) in preparation for rumored attack on Iran seems to be evidence of manifestation.

Sad, very sad.
Father, help the blind to see and the wicked to turn from their ways. May they call to you in repentance for peace and wisdom.
