Two additional United States naval aircraft carriers are heading to the Gulf and the Red Sea, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper Kuwait Times.

Kuwait began finalizing its "emergency war plan" on being told the vessels were bound for the region.

The US Navy would neither confirm nor deny that carriers were en route. US Fifth Fleet Combined Maritime Command located in Bahrain said it could not comment due to what a spokesman termed "force-protection policy."

1. It could be that the deployment of the first 2 carrier battle groups is nearing its end and the additional carriers are on their way to relieve them.
2. The news article is error. Happens more often than not.

3. Right of free passage needs to be enforced and this is a statement that we will send our ships anywhere in the world through international waters that we see fit.

At least they are nuclear powered vessels... not using any oil.
