Not that I think we are up to something. But in a crisis it is a good idea to make it more difficult for potential foes to track our big stuff. Make them work for it, right?
Unless this has been down for a while and I only just noticed this.
Which wouldn't prevent the naturally paranoid from assuming we are hiding something, of course.
Anyway, it is interesting.
UPDATE: An unnamed American warship has been granted permission by the Turks to enter the Black Sea:
Turkish sources, speaking with the Hürriyet Daily News on March 5, declined to elaborate on the name of the U.S. warship. The same officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, however, noted that it was not the USS George H.W. Bush nuclear aircraft carrier as suggested in some news reports, as it did not meet the standards specified by the 1936 Montreux Convention in terms of weight.
Let's see where it goes. Is it to monitor the Russians and bug them by recording all transmissions of the invasion? Then it stays at sea.
Or will it deliver humanitarian aid to Ukrainians? If so, it probably heads to Odessa as a visible sign of support to Ukraine.
We'll see what type of ship it is.
UPDATE: If we had the cojones, we'd send the ship to Feodosiye in eastern Crimea, where Ukrainian marines are under siege by the Russians, to unload humanitarian supplies.
UPDATE: The page is back up. I checked it Thusday morning and it works.
