National Geographic - Carrier: Show Of Force (2008) HDTV 720p x264-DiCH

The Big Game really kicks off when the Nimitz arrives in the Gulf.

The F-18s are mounted with infrared cameras, enabling them to serve as the "eyes in the sky" to support the troops on the ground. Some of the pilots are frustrated that they're not dropping bombs because that's what they've been trained to do. The aircraft carrier's role and effectiveness in this particular war are questioned.
