Where are the Carriers?

Ask any Sailor who has ever served on a United States Navy Aircraft Carrier about who is tasked with a rapid response to situations that happen anywhere on our Planet. Usually the first question asked by those in Command at the Highest Levels is: "Where are the Carriers."

Recently the USS Carl Vinson, an aircraft carrier, was in a unique situation when the Earthquake hit Haiti. On February 26, 2010 the USS Carl Vinson was in Rio. She is in the process of changing her homeport to the West Coast, which means she will soon be traveling around the bottom tip of South America. I suspect that she and her great crew will be tasked to assist with any U. S. relief efforts to aid the peoples of Chile which suffered a massive Earthquake this morning.

"Where Are The Carriers?" Every citizen of this great country and each and every Sailor in our U. S. Navy can certainly stand tall with great pride as once again our Nation is Ready to Serve and Assist wherever needed.
