Damn that is a lot of firepower. Has there been a blockade in history with more firepower?
All show. China just waltzed through because they know TACO.
I thought that opening the Strait is the whole reason for the war?
I mean it was open before Trump attacked Iran, but the ever-evolving reason to open the Strait.
Wait, I thought I just read that it was open now? I can’t keep up with all this shit lol
Operation T.A.C.O
What’s the estimated cost per day of this deployment?
Trump is really mad that he’s not getting his share of the 2 million dollar fee Iran is charging
So mad, Trump is now wasting millions of dollars an hour.
A Carrier Group INCLUDES the destroyers otherwise it’s just a Carrier. Or are these 10 additional DDs?
Is this Star Wars
This is all so exhausting. America can’t find money to fund healthcare or solve any number of critical affordability issues but we can find billions to start pointless wars. I’m not even sure who knows what’s really going on here on a day to day basis given the constant conflicting reports.
Are we great again yet? JFC.
’stacks‘ what is this a fucking paradox game?
I’m not militarily informed, but could it be possible that the US is doing the blockade ahead of an amphibious invasion of some the islands?
(Ignoring the fact Trump said he would open the strait a couple hours ago)
Seems a bit off counting all the CVNs thete or en route, but only counting the DDGs and LCS in the Arabian Sea. There’s a little bit more than that either in the area or en route.
**Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group**: operating in the Arabian Sea
* USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (DDG-121), and USS Spruance (DDG-111)
* **Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group**: USS Tripoli (LHA-7), USS New Orleans (LPD-18), USS Rushmore (LSD-47) and elements of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.
* independently operating warships in the area are USS Milius (DDG-69), USS Delbert D. Black (DDG-119), USS Pickney (DDG-91), USS Mitscher (DDG-57), USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), USS John Finn (DDG-113), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG-115), and USS Canberra (LCS-30).
**Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group**: operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea
* USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81), and USS Mahan (DDG-72)
* independently operating DDGs in the Eastern Mediterranean are USS Bulkeley (DDG-84) and USS Gonzalez (DDG-66)
**In the Red Sea**
* USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) and USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116)
En route-
**George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group**: operating off the coast of Africa in the South Atlantic
* USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77), USS Mason (DDG-87), USS Donald Cook (DDG-75), and USS Ross (DDG-71)
**Boxer Amphibious Ready Group**: operating near Guam in the Western Pacific
* USS Boxer (LHD-4), USS Comstock (LSD-45), USS Portland (LPD-27) and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
As someone who deployed onboard both carriers and a cruiser in carrier battlegroups through the Straits numerous times, I can’t imagine what the familes are going through. Our deployment schedule was planned way in advance and the schedule shifted all the battlegroups around the world between yards, workups, assessments, and deployments so that the world was covered but not by 3 battlegroups at once in one spot and with no planning for the families of the deployed ahead of time.
This is such a waste.
We need the Strait of Hormuz in Battlefield 6
The moment Japan has been waiting for lol
Im not a smart man but it seems like putting all these ships an incredibly small area seems like a poor idea
A3? Hit. A4? Miss. B3? Hit.
That’s a lot of ships.
„A modern U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group (CSG) typically consists of 7 to 10 ships commanded by a flag officer. Centered around a single aircraft carrier (CVN), the group usually includes one guided-missile cruiser, two to three guided-missile destroyers, and one or two fast-attack submarines.“
So pedo man is upset that it’s blocked and as a reaction blocks it themselves.. like what?
Aren’t the carriers in range of basic howitzers from shore if they try to enter the strait?
Man, I can’t help but wonder what constructive things my tax dollars could be doing instead

These guys track them year round. It looks like they are spread out in the seas around Iran -not all clumped. This is a more naval and air power than is needed for a blockade.
The obvious assumption is this lets the US move a rapid invasion in place. It’s a lot of assets.
The US Navy just need to ignore trump and head back at this point. It’s for the best
Why brings so many assets into a bottle neck? That is in range of land based attacks?
Expensive way to make a point and drive oil prices up. Please end this Presidency – it will take decades to recover from this.
This will help unblock the straight. 🤦🏻♂️
Oh good. Moving them all into weapons range.
Every day with this regime is like being awake during surgery.
We could have UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE with less money than we are spending to open the Strait of Hormuz (note- it was opened before this mess started)
„I’m gonna force them to open the Strait of Hormuz for all ships, by blocking all the ships“
– trump’s 5D chess.
Target rich environ for hypersonic anti ship missiles.
It’s going to be hard to balance two carriers on top of another one.
Just what the enemies would want, a target rich environment.
Seems like a recipe for disaster. Praying for those that are out there In Harm’s Way for a senseless War.
All. That. Taxpayers. Money.
Back into the pockets of the arm dealers and their shareholders.
I feel like boats aren’t supposed to be stacked. 😂🤔
Everybody knows that you continually send more and more troops and warships after you’ve won the war. Art of the deal.
The men and women on those boats may very well die for the Epstein class
Having all that hardware crammed so close together sounds like a catastrophe waiting to happen. Like Hegseth doesn’t know what he’s doing 🧐. Pulling assets from around the world…. another reckless move
