#1 Ok, so the US has 3 carriers "in the Pacific" (NORK, anyone?) 1 in the South China Sea and 1 in the Atlantic. So the Brits will do carrier duty in "the middle east", where we also have a command ship in the Mediterranean and the Iwo Jima strike group in the Red Sea.

And we never say where the subs are ....

#4 Yeah, but is it an *attack* sub, like the ones at the corner bar where they really load on the hot peppers? ;-)

#5 Does Israel base any subs at Eilat?

Would Egypt allow quiet transit?

#6 Don't know to either question, but Mubarak is very very silent on that reportedly drowned cruise ship.
