Thacker) Organization: /u/jmc/.organization Lines: 7 Approved: military@att.att.com From: jmc@Gang-of-Four.usenet (John McCarthy) Is it correct that carriers have to stay out of the inner part of the Persian Gulf and that this limits their operational range within Iraq? Can carrier planes fly combat missions from closer ground bases?
