The U.S. military is planning to move U.S. Navy ships and military aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning.

The movements could start immediately but all the assets, specifically the ships, will not be in place for several days.

The U.S. is also working through plans for a possible non-combatant evacuation — helping Americans get out of Israel. Nothing has been decided or ordered, but officials are working through options, including one that involves putting some Americans on the Navy ships to get them to safety.

2. That looks like the newest U S Navy Aircraft Carrier

the USS Ford.

Really don't want to fuck with a US Navy Task Force, it usually ends up very badly for those that decide they can go toe to toe.

3. A non-combatant evacuation of Americans, fine .....

but any military involvement or taking sides in the conflict itself, hell no. Not our problem.

4. I'd like to see Americans brought out of Israel and safely brought back to America.

If they can do that, well worth the ships going there. I understand we had Americans die yesterday after that horrid terror attack. Get all Americans out of Israel now.
