#5  The last time two carrier task forces went at it was Leyte Gulf in 1944, when the fighters were A6M Zeroes and F6F Hellcats. How do carrier task forces fight in the age of the F/A-18 and E-2C? That's probably what they were trying to figure out.

#2  ". . these exercises would be followed up by joint Indo-US Naval Special Forces exercises in Guam in the Pacific in January 2006. "

I wonder, when was the last time the Indian Navy sailed into the Pacific?

#1  This looks neat!! I don't recall seeing too many carrier to carrier exercises. Hope info will be declassified and come out of this. Also hope the Nimitz people don't let down.
