Does anybody have any pics of the USS Enterprise in the current Lybia Operations???

Ha, ha… you know that 65 is puttering around the mouth of the Persian Gulf, along with Big Carl, while the 4 (sorry, now 3) USMC AV-8Bs from Kearsarge have to rely on the 8 Rafale operating from the Charles big-nose… with the almost-assistance of the 8 AV-8Bs from the Giuseppe no-fight*.

* apparently the Italian government has ordered them to fly patrols but to not conduct combat operations.
Berlusconi also said that Italian planes “are not firing and will not fire”
