After 280 days at sea, is Pattaya not the best port to dock for the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln?

[Anonymous]

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been the center of controversy after 280 continuous days at sea and will finally port at Pattaya in Thailand. We can debate and question military strategy but there is no debate that when the troops need some recovery time, that Frat Boy Hegseth really steps up. After spending 280 days straight on a boat with a bunch of dudes, Pattaya is where you want to go. Well done Pete and make sure the government covers the boys trips to the clinic next week. They've earned it.

That is VERY stupid. that admiral retaardvark! Pataya is 1,100 MORE nautical than ashkelon!

Pattaya is inside the Gulf by Thailand on the eastern side, ships cannot take a straight line. A boat must navigate all the way around the Malay Peninsula! wasted time and wasted uranium fuel. and can't get uranium from thai!

more than a week! 4,500 nautical miles. better to change to ashkelon port of an ally. plenty of port pubs! there and

just: sea distance from south of the Strait of Hormuz to Ashkelon, Israel is approximately 3,400 nautical miles (about 6,000 kilometers) via the standard sea route of suez. or:

even more efficient elat! just HALF! sea distance from southern exit of the Strait of Hormuz to Eilat, Israel

is: just 2,400 nautical miles (about 4,490 kilometers) and can bomb houthi en rout!

and get from israel uranium- electric grade i mean. also distance:

just half of pataya around 4 days. they can go to the ICE mall in hot weather in elat. if it is still open?

I think anywhere is good enough for those troops now.
