Since we don't know what is in the red carrier zone or where anyone is, I decided to do a recce-in-force yesterday.
I took an F-14B Peeping Tom--a Tomcat configured with the TARPS recon pod (that's it toward the rear)--and tried to sniff out some targets:
While in the air, a mission was assigned to destroy the cruise and cargo ships.  I was able to find a group of them.  Intel photos below:
Note DMPI-1 N 31 49.30' E 32 44.50'
As I was reconning them, I was fired upon by a frigate:
DMPI-2 N 31 56.14'  E 32 32.95'
Cont'd:

More photos of the frigate:
I was not able to sniff out the carrier at this time as the SAMs were firing like crazy, but they must be nearby. So, you can use the coordinates that I provided to lock in a waypoint for targeting and use your radar or TPODs to track down the rest.
Also, CVN-73 spawned within the red carrier zone, but when I tried to take off from there, it had the message about a flight delay and you having to wait to spawn.
See you tonight at the usual 7pm central/8pm eastern time.

Good intel. I will be flying with TALD's and my external tank at Angels 40 and being a big distraction to the enemy ships this evening while you all take them out.

That would be good because they will shoot at the TALDs rather than our incoming Vampires.
