Anonymous Coward User ID: 16854076 Australia 08/01/2012 05:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | AUSTRALIA'S HMAS Stirling navy base in Western Australia could become the base for an entire United States Navy aircraft carrier battle group, if a proposal by a US think tank is accepted. Quoting: Sir Griffo It outlines a number of options for US forces in the Pacific, including greater use of the Stirling fleet base in Fremantle, to increase overall military capability in the region. If pursued, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, up to nine squadrons of aircraft, two guided missile cruisers, two or three guided missile destroyers, one or two nuclear attack submarines plus supply ships could be based at Sterling.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 21046196 China 08/01/2012 06:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A couple of massive, big dual-cab F100-like 4wds rocked up out of nowhere with flashing lights, some uniformed Americans jumped out, and they went storming around rounding up any marine they could spot, frog marching them to the 4wds, and took off. Unfortunately, this was a common event. There was alot of tension between some locals and the servicemen, mainly probably because there was a lack of women up that way, and besides surfing or fishing, there was jack to do other than go to the one pub, or go to a private party. Expect more of the same if this goes ahead. |
