STFU, fuck you have been everywhere according to your bragging ass. I heard the many times Bush told Saddam we were coming. It was all over the news, hell the news media was in Baghdad when the first strike occurred. We got to see it in real time.

I'm sure that some lame ass idiot will see that I wrote 18 January instead of 17 January. Before you have an orgasm, it was the 18th of January in the Gulf and the 17th of January in the United States.
Look at that...I just saved EVA, TIMMIE, and the NBK from making fools of themselves. I must be a nice guy.

1990s and fate[edit]
She departed from
Norfolk in August 1990, under the command of Captain
Chuck Saffell, to deploy to the
Persian Gulf for
Operation Desert Shield and
Operation Desert Storm, with less than a month's notice. When her crew received notice of the deployment the boilers and electrical generators were torn down for a long term overhaul. Many in the engineering department worked a full day to return two hours later for a following day.
On 2 January 1991, the
Guam along with the
USS Trenton were dispatched from anchorage off
Oman to
Somalia to airlift
the US embassy in Somalia's capital
Mogadishu, which had been suddenly enveloped by violence when rebels entered the city and the central government collapsed. On 5–6 January, 281 US and foreign nationals were airlifted from the embassy, including all of the embassy's staff along with diplomats from several nations (notably, the Soviet ambassador to Somalia and 38 Soviet diplomats). The vessels returned to Oman and the evacuees disembarked on 11 January, ending
Operation Eastern Exit.

In 1993, she won the
Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award for the Atlantic Fleet.
