I just did a little snoop to see what our LHDs are up to. It would appear as if at least six of them are at sea or ready to go. Iwo Jima is in the Arabian Sea with Enterprise. Boxer is on its way with ESG-5. Kearsarge was hanging around Norfolk just before Ike departed. Another is in the Med. Another two are "at sea."
So it seems as if there may be five out of seven MEUs nearly ready to go, at least six out of seven LHDs at sea or ready to go.
The CVN Teddy Roosevelt is also deployed to the same place that the Ike is supposedly deployed: "WestLant." We now know that Ike is going to the Gulf. Did it pick up TR on the way? Did it take Kearsarge and the 26th MEU? I guess we'll find out soon enough.
