I asked about Naples because I thought it was the main port for so carriers would harbor there more frequently than elsewhere in Europe ... only now I checked, seems I could be wrong

Oh yes US Navy ships visit there..no doubt. Nimitz was there during here last deployment. She transited the Suez to operate in the MED for a short time.

I posted this on the US Navy pictures thread as well.
This is what I really wish the US Navy would develop to replace the S-3A ASW capabilities that the Carrier groups used to have. An SV-22 would carry more sensors, more weapons, would have greater range, and could loiter and prosecute targets for a longer time than the Seahawk helicopters.
It would allow the CSG once again to cast a much wide net in the hopes of keeping adversary submarines further away from the carrier.
Anyhow, I built this specifically to be able to show what it would be capable of.
Here's the BUILD THREAD ON SD.
...and here are some of the pictures of the completed aircraft:
I'd love to see each US nuclear carrier deploy with a squadron of six of these aircraft.

One important thing, EA-6B performed their last deployment on the CVN Bush actually, VAQ-134 i think.
Now Fighters and Electronic attack aircrafts :
Number of F-18E/F and EA-18G becomes very important :
Atlantic :
Oceana : 17 sqns : 5 C, 6 E, 5 F and a OCU B/C/E/F.
Pacific :
Lemoore : 16 sqns : 3 C, 8 E, 4 F and a OCU B/C/E/F.
Atsugi : 4 sqns : 3 E, 1 F in more 1 EA-18G.
Whidbey Islands : 14 EW sqns : 8 EA-18G, 5 EA-6B, and a OCU EA-18G/ with EA-6B up to the end of the year.
Last EA-6B Sqn VAQ-134 replace by EA-18G in 2016.
In these sqns 3 are Expeditionnary USN/USAF created following the withdrawal of EF-111 which instead are designed to operate from land bases.
Last new F-18E/F delivered to Lemoore, normaly first F-35C are for replace last Oceana F-18C sqns.
Number by Sqn :
F-18E/F : 12, F-18C : 10 in general, OCU F-18 : 50+, EA-18G : 5, OCU EA-18G : 12. Futur F-35C : 10.

Ok Astute hear me out. Pres. Obama has nothing to do with RIMPAC 2014. Other than knowing that it is scheduled. No message was sent to the Russians. In fact in year past the Russians have participated in RIMPAC. And yes I know you did not title that video..some military no nothing did.
And that second picture is at Naval Station Norfolk..was taken in December 2012 has nothing to do with the Russians.
