Ugh, I seriously did not "Iran from moving". I wrote "Iran from blocking". But my "smart" phone has decided not to just correct potential spelling mistakes, but change phrases while I'm typing.
Trump is president and we’re not at war around the world. A more telling map would be one showing were China’s carriers are deployed. Does Russia even have carriers?
As I understand it, much of our fleet has been recalled to check their basic electronic and onboard computer system. The Airforce grounded a lot of planes to do the same.
Leland, I thought you might have meant it that way, but it worked anyway. Like the Persian Gulf isn't moving anywhere!
Chick, I think China just started getting carriers, so Russia must have had them for a while. Thanks for the info on the electronics checks. Make sense since it appears the Russians are jamming our radar and messing with missile aim.

While Old Army, Old Navy and the Wouk himself are in the line-up, Pooh is nowhere to be found, possibly stuck in a rabbit hole, waiting for his ship to come in.
1942 “The OCD [[Office of Civilian Defense]] began ringing the firebell at night and shouted all Americans would be bombed out of their beds if they didn’t immediately abandon apathy and begin to run in circles, scream, and shout . . .”—‘Chronicle Telegram’ (Elyria, Ohio), 26 October, page 2
1948 “The old Army War College used to have a football team whose slogan was ‘When in trouble when in doubt run in circles scream and shout.’ This slogan could be applied to our political leaders in Washington.”—‘Valley Morning Star’ (Harlingen, Texas), 9 May
1951 “To Willie’s eye it was a scene of confusion and panic. He surmised that the Caine crew were unfitted for their jobs, and were fulfilling the ancient adage: When in danger or in doubt, / Run in circles, scream and shout.”—‘The Caine Mutiny’ by Herman Wouk, page 110
1962 “One is reminded of the old adage ‘When in danger / When in doubt / Run in circles /Scream and shout.’”—‘The American Journal of Nursing,’ Vol. 62, No. 5, May, page 110
1965 “The pompano at the Brazilian Court [[Hotel]], when it arrived was edible enough, but the service in the dining room was something else again. One guest was reminded of the old shipboard motto, ‘When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout,’ for that is precisely what that evening’s performance was like.”—‘New York Times,’ 7 February, page 14
1972 “There is an old saying, ‘When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout’, which brings us back to . . . the loud assertations that if an ‘outsider’ and black man . . . were not Commissioner of Correction and did not try to use his office to bring about some changes in the Commonwealth's prisons, none of this would have happened.”—‘Bay State Banner’ (Massachusetts), 10 August, Vol. VIII, Issue 47, page 1

1986 “‘We’re doing in Washington [[Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985]] what we’re doing in 43 state capitals. That’s all that’s happening, and yet it’s a reaction like during World War II when, aboard ship in the Navy, they’d say, ‘When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!’ But the senator [[Hollings]] is optimistic. ‘Oh, yeah, I think we’ll simmer down from the hysteria . . .If we [Congress] develop discipline, you’ll never hear of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings again.”—‘Washington Post,’ 22 January, page C1
1996 “Many managers, especially ones with little experience in dealing with ambiguity, disagreement, chaos, and uncertainty on a daily basis, approach conflict using WIDOID RICSAS (When In Danger, Or In Doubt, Run In Circles, Scream And Shout).

2003 “The current leadership chaos in Washington reminds me of an old Naval maxim familiar to all present and former officers, to wit - ‘when in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.’ In the service (and business), the captain of the ship is responsible for the conduct and performance of his officers and this leadership responsibility cannot be delegated or ducked. The real question now is, ‘Who's in charge?’ We will soon find out if George W. Bush is really up to the task.”—‘The News & Record’ (Piedmont Triad, North Carolina), 18 October
2006 “In a crisis, it pays to have as few emotions as possible. Years ago in the Army, we had a maxim to cover such events. Like most soldier humor, it was pure sarcasm: ‘When in trouble or doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.’”—‘Charlotte Sun and Weekly Herald’ (Port Charlotte, Florida), 21 December
I saw it immediately Deborah. I was just surprised Troop or Ed didn't brag about it. It wasn't long ago that we had a carrier in the Med, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf. Now, there are none within 1,000 miles.
Alas, we have fighters based in Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. It's not like we need a carrier over there.
Following up, the Stennis is on the west coast conducting training operations. Southfront has it out of service in Virginia. It will be going there at a later date, but putting it on the wrong side of the continent and getting it's status totally wrong is a 100,000 ton error which calls into question the website's usefulness.

We've got us surrounded?
There is a button to create links - I noticed that.
lol something like that. Thanks, I thought it was linked.
Your source is a little confused about the Stennis.
Don't keep us in suspense...
What did you notice prior to posting, deborah, that caused your attention meter to rise?
I'm all for games if I know what game is being played, and who the players are. That hold true for Battleships and Blogs.
Aside from lots of shore parties in Norfolk, Rabel's comment is all I noticed.
Is this configuration/grouping significantly different from what it was a week or month or president ago?
Wondering what brought this to attention now and is prompting a salute?
Oh noes, whose going to stop Iran from moving the straight of Hormuz?
How can you be two places at once when you are really nowhere at all?
Leland, I know, right?
Sixty, my maxim is taken from Winnie the Pooh:
"When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." It saves on decisions.

“Oh, bother!,” said Pooh, as he checked the wiki for Chinese aircraft carriers.
I saw it immediately Deborah. I was just surprised Troop or Ed didn't brag about it. It wasn't long ago that we had a carrier in the Med, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf. Now, there are none within 1,000 miles.
Alas, we have fighters based in Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. It's not like we need a carrier over there.
I saw it immediately Deborah.
I'm still unclear as to what the "it" is or was that deborah initially noted. prompting her post, and "Notice anything" query.
Is the current distribution different that it was last week, last month, last year or every August?
Noticing is different that presuming or drawing a conclusion.
