The USS Enterprise Joins Fleet Near Iran
Enterprise Joins Fleet Near IranFriday, June 22, 2007 -Censor.Net.au
The USS Enterprise CVN 65-Big E Strike Group, the US Navy’s largest air carrier, will join the USS Stennis and the USS Nimitz carriers, building up the largest sea, air, marine concentration the United States has ever deployed opposite Iran. This goes towards making good on the assurances of four carriers US Vice President Dick Cheney offered the Gulf and Middle East nations during his May tour of the region. Washington is considering deploying the fourth US carrier for the region in the Red Sea opposite Saudi Arabian western coast to secure the three US carriers in the Gulf from the rear as well as the Gulf of Aqaba and Suez Canal. -LIEH3OP

Wow... I don't know if people realize what a commitment of US naval power 4 aircraft carrier groups is! I wonder how many Amphibious Assault groups we have in the Gulf, now?
It's a normal rotation - The E is simply replacing the Stennis which is due back in Hawaii on August 21. Blather and no knowledge!
