 | | The USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group will remain near the Hawaiian Islands "for a couple of days" as it continues to train for a possible wartime mission, a Navy official said yesterday. |
 | | In addition to the Truman, two West Coast carriers are also in or near the Persian Gulf: the USS Constellation, in the Persian Gulf, and the USS Abraham Lincoln, in the western Pacific -- all part of the U.S. military's buildup for a possible war with Iraq. |
 | | The Vinson battle group -- which includes the cruiser USS Antietam and the destroyer USS Lassen, both based in San Diego; the frigate USS Ingraham, from Everett, Wash.; and the fast combat support ship USS Sacramento, from Bremerton, Wash. -- left Pearl Harbor yesterday after a weekend port call. |
