Defense News: Middle East Now Without a US Carrier
WASHINGTON — The Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group chopped out of the European theater of operations Dec. 26 and headed home to Norfolk after months of operating in the Arabian Gulf and the Mediterranean, where the strike jets of Carrier Air Wing 3 flew hundreds of missions against Islamic State group targets in Syria and Iraq. The homecoming is set for Dec. 30 — two days shy of the Navy’s stated goal of bringing the group home in seven months.
US carrier groups regularly relieve each other in theater, often handing off duties within sight of the other in the Arabian Gulf or Arabian Sea. But this time, no carrier is in the Eisenhower’s wake.
The relief ship, the carrier George H. W. Bush, has yet to leave Norfolk, and it's unlikely to do so before the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration of Donald Trump, according to a Navy source. The gap could last as long as two months, sources said, between the time the Eisenhower left the combat theater and the Bush arrives.

Suck it up, Buttercup.
thing about JabberJay is that he has the same business practices as Trump and then he criticizes Trump.
JabberJay should be fired from his job. He does not know how fitting and cutting the epithet I use for him is.
Jabberjay love it
Not a threat. Just stating how I feel, but I do think I could knock you out cold if I had the chance if we are being honest
JabberJay just needs to be made irrelevant is all.
