Where is the 6th Fleet/ For those curious who still want to know . . . . .
It looks like it is right where it should be. From what I can see, the USS Enterprise was in Lisbon, Portugal on January 26 to begin its deployment into the Med on February 4, 2011. (http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=58200). From Portugal it was headed into the Med and over to Turkey. The entire carrier strike group was in the med and is apparently still there. http://military-online.blogspot.com/2011/02/6th-fleet-commander-visits-enter prise.html: _________________________________________________________ Friday, February 11, 2011 6th Fleet Commander Visits Enterprise <http://www.navy.mil/management/photodb/photos/110117-N-5324W-005.jpg> >From Enterprise Strike Group Public Affairs USS ENTERPRISE, At Sea (NNS) -- Commander, U.S. 6th Fleet, visited USS Enterprise (CVN 65) to meet with senior carrier strike group (CSG) leadership, and to thank the crew at the beginning of their deployment, Feb. 4. Vice Adm. Harry B. Harris, Jr., and Command Master Chief (AW/SS/SW/FMF/DV/PJ) Jay R. Wood Jr., command master chief of U.S. 6th Fleet headquarters; flew aboard the deployed aircraft carrier as the CSG continued theater security cooperation efforts in the Mediterranean. "What you are doing is important," said Harris. "You have already visited Portugal and will soon arrive in Turkey, and these visits are important to our nation and important to 6th Fleet. Later, you will be supporting our combat troops in Afghanistan in the 5th Fleet [area of operations]. I applaud you for your energy and I thank you for your service." The leaders toured the ship and met with Sailors and Marines to thank them personally for their efforts in support of the deployment. During the ship's recent stop in Lisbon, the ship invited more than 1,000 guests to the ship for a reception, tours and media visits during the four-day visit. The crew participated in three community relations projects, and senior military commanders from both countries held briefings and meetings discussing military-to-military capabilities, while the crew took in the sights and sounds that their host nation provided. Enterprise Strike Group consists of Enterprise, the guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55), the guided-missile destroyers USS Bulkeley (DDG 84), USS Barry (DDG 52) and USS Mason (DDG 87), USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8), Carrier Air Wing 1 and Destroyer Squadron 2.

HANNITY: All right, I'll concur with you. All right, so then what's the future for him? What is the future for North Africa? What is the future for the Middle East? My guess is that we risk more extremism -- NORTH: Much more. There are very few options left to this administration because decisions made by the Obama administration to take carriers offline and ships offline. We have no ability to respond in any way militarily. We have no carriers in the Mediterranean today for the first time in 31 years. You have no American carriers in the Mediterranean, no battle groups and you have Iranian ships. Because this administration has made bad decisions all the way along line. It's not a good formula, Sean. The good news is at the end of the day, Muammar Qaddafi is a dead man. Watch the last few minutes: http://tinyurl.com/66zqunn
