The @DOTMARAD, in conjunction with @MSCSealift and @US_TRANSCOM, has ordered a no-notice turbo activation of between 23 to 25 ships

That is a very good question and I don't know.


Maybe someone else around here does.

Yes that is correct.
Then it wil be an big build up before action.
That wil take time. I think it wil be an retaliation precision attack on Iran oil refiniry and AA batterys.
Must see the comming days when more info comming in.

Usually they are all anchored in a channel somewhere. There is a ghost fleet in Virginia anchored in the St. James river near Ft. Eustis. All they have to do is paint them and check and recheck functionality and fuel them.

I think that is why Lex Talionis asked that question.

Replying to @therealSperkin @DOTMARAD and

The Maritime Administration has confirmed that this is an exercise.

and so did the U.S. what's your point?

LOL looks who comes begging for Oil! fuck china

Yeah, I thought that was interesting.


Gotta keep things running over there.

Shows the Chinese know what's up -- or what might be up at any rate.

The rumor was yesterday. Crude went up something like 11%, which is a lot. But still only 11%.

Obama did everything he could to entrench the Mullah regime's power. We have to undo Obama, plus more.

And they're choosing the right side. Good choice by China.

No-notice turbo activation of 23-25 ships from the Ready Reserve Force being spooled up. DOD conducts these annually to gauge the response time of the RRF

Correct but this level seems very high compared to years past. Seeing other sources saying the same. Thoughts?

Think this is a distraction for the real action. I don't think Trump is going full attack.

Then what is the "real action"?

How do you graves register a pile of radioactive ash?

china can refine it the americans cant

tungsten magen dawids air dropped

Actually we ca refine sour crude, Asia and Europe can't fir the most part.


We can take all the sour the Saudis want to sell

your "surplus" oil isnt sour crude it is mostly garbage tight and shale is a government subsidized money losing meme

I mothballed some of those vessels in Philadelphia before the first recall. Man if they are the same vessels, crap.

Wasn't referring to our "surplus" oil.


We have refinery capacity for sour crude. Other countries for the most part don't.


That's why the Aramco facility was and is important -- not so much to us as the rest of the world.


There is a reason the Chinese are buying American oil right now.

They have to know they can take delivery.

the surplus was sarcasm what you are saying makes zero sense.

4/ Abqaiq transforms heavy/sour crude into light/sweet crude at the rate of 7 million barrels per day. That throws almost every major refinery in the world into panic...except American refineries which prefer heavy/sour.

you think it ships for free? you think they can overnight express it?

LoL, I read title as DOOMTARD

No, that is why the Chinese are planning ahead.


We are talking about events about six weeks in the future, not tomorrow.


Are you twelve?

i read it as do tard!

Your input won't be missed.

your refineries are booked months and months ahead and run on the cusp of breakdown 24/7 you haven't the slightest about the petro industry

It's not about us, it's about Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world.



But, hey, they say they will be back up and running by this weekend
-- barring OTHER ATTACKS.

Nothing goes by ship very fast. If they are in a hurry they will use civilian aircraft to put troops into the theater. No doubt ships will be utilized to keep supply lines moving but ships are too slow for anything to be going down quickly
