You mean like the battle group that can't afford to deploy, the carrier that can't go into dry dock for overhaul, or the carrier that can't afford to steam out of dry dock? A tighter ship like that?

I'd mothball most of the fleet and use bombers with as much fire power as need to neutralize the threat. The Province formally known as Baghdad would have been renamed Bombed-Dad under my watch. Countries that don't want us to have bases there and/or use their air space; no check for you!
