Like a bus stop, I guess. I doubt that they're staying. And besides, if we're going to attack China (which we would NEVER do, because that would mean the end of a steady supply of cheap goods), it would take a bit more than 2 carriers...

2 aircraft carriers is way too small force to conquer China...

Wow, that was quite off-topic. Gotta hand it to ya.

Anyway, when someone says "two carriers" went somewhere, that definitely involves more than two ships. I doubt they'd go anywhere without a LARGE escort. As to their purpose, just a good example of "Forward Presence".

Everyone needs to be careful not to try to moderate. If there's a post that you feel violates the rules, use the "report" function or PM the staff. Further violations will result in more infractions and possible bans. Thanks for your cooperation.

I highly doubt that there is anything sinister in the visit after all if they were planning anything I am pretty sure they would send more than 2 carriers.
agreed....
