It is stupid to put two carrier groups in the Persian Gulf. Iran owns and operates three Kilo class submarines. Have a look at the Strait of Hormuz. Now, put three Kilos in there after the carriers are inside.

Missiles: 8 Strela-3 (SA-N-8 Gremlin) or
8 Igla (SA-N-10 Gimlet)

Torpedoes: 6/533 mm Torpedoe Tubes
18 VA-111 (w: c/nucl) Torpedoes or
24 mines

"Apparently fired from standard 533mm torpedo tubes [VA-111 torpedoes], Shkval has a range of about 7,500 yards. The weapon clears the tube at fifty knots, upon which its rocket fires, propelling the missile through the water at 360 kph [about 100 m/sec / 230 mph / 200-knots], three or four times as fast as conventional torpedoes. The solid-rocket propelled "torpedo" achieves high speeds by producing a high-pressure stream of bubbles from its nose and skin, which coats the torpedo in a thin layer of gas and forms a local "envelope" of supercavitating bubbles. Carrying a tactical nuclear warhead initiated by a timer, it would destroy the hostile submarine and the torpedo it fired. The Shkval high-speed underwater missile is guided by an auto-pilot rather than by a homing head as on most torpedoes."

Bush needs his head read and a reassmennt of those folks in the military who have agreed with the idea of two carrier groups in the Gulf, IMO.
