The Armada Has Arrived - Did the US Navy just go Dark for ‘Day One’ Strike on Iran?

Video Description

'Ghost Mode' Activated: Why the USS Abraham Lincoln Just Vanished The world is holding its breath as the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) has officially gone "dark" in the Indian Ocean. While heading toward the Strait of Hormuz to confront a surging crisis in Iran, the 100,000-ton supercarrier disabled its AIS transponders, entering a tactical state known as "Ghost Mode" or EMCON. Why is the U.S. Navy taking such a drastic step now? In this investigation, we break down the strategic logic behind President Trump’s "Armada". With Iran currently in the grip of violent internal unrest and the regime threatening a "whirlwind" response to U.S. pressure, the Lincoln isn't just patrolling—it’s positioning for a potential "Day One" strike. We look at how this deployment follows the successful, surgical blueprint used just weeks ago in South America. 🔍 IN THIS VIDEO: The Vanishing Act: How a nuclear carrier disappears from public tracking to blind enemy "carrier-killer" missile batteries.
