A Storm is Coming - part 4
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 12:56 pmOnce again, I advise you to read the previous instalments if you haven't already done so - otherwise the following shots will not make sense.
The USS Stennis has completed its training, and is heading out to Iran on a 'double deployment' with USS Ronald Reagan - also carrying a complement of RAF aircraft and RAF pilots. Combined, the two ships are carrying a total of 180 aircraft - 140 US Navy, 40 RAF.
Having taken on extra RAF personnel and RAF-standard weaponry (as opposed to the dummies that were used in training) in UK ports, the two carriers head out for the Iranian coast;
The southern part of Iran is occupied by the UN coalition, so it is safe to base the two carriers near to the coast. However, the north is still being fought over, and a combat mission is being flown by a group of typhoons;
Hope you like these - C&C is welcome
P.S. There will be a part 5 - though I may take a break from this storyline for a while - not sure yet.
