SurgeMichael King notes an unprecedented test of naval deployment capability planned for the next few weeks: seven of our twelve carriers will deploy at one time to the South China Sea. This is more carriers than have been used at one time in any American war since the Korean War. Put in perspective, that is in the neighborhood of 350 aircraft - more combat-ready aircraft than any but a handful of the world's air forces can deploy - and seven mobile bases for them.
I think we are trying to make a point - either to China or North Korea (or both).

The Chinese will use nuclear weapons against the carriers, if they feel threatened enough.
When the time comes for them to invade Taiwan, they won't let anything stop them.
Look for lots of Chinese money going to the Kerry campaign.
