NUCLEAR-POWERED USS NIMITZ CARRIER REROUTED FOR POSSIBLE SYRIA ATTACK, OFFICIALS SAY

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and other ships in its strike group are heading west toward the Red Sea in case they’re needed to support a U.S. attack on Syria, defense officials told Reuters Sunday.

The Nimitz strike group includes four destroyers and a cruiser and is moving west in the Arabian Sea so it can enter the eastern Mediterranean if need be. The group had not yet entered the Red Sea Sunday evening, one official told Reuters.

“It’s about leveraging the assets to have them in place should the capabilities of the carrier strike group and the presence be needed,” said the official.

It's a sad state of affairs for our Navy when one of it's best ships is 45 years old.
