Can the U.S. Load All the Empty Super Tankers | Why Is an American Carrier Beating Around the BUSH?

AI Article: Perplexity Google Lens
In this episode we look at the fleet of Very Large Crude Carriers heading to the United States and whether the nation has the ability to handle all of them with the dual blockade of the Persian Gulf by Iran and the U.S. We also examine the decision to send the carrier USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) and its escorts around the Cape of Good Hope and why USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8) is such a valuable logistical asset for the US Navy and the Military Sealift Command.
