like if it was 1817 it could happen. maybe some ship guy read a letter wrong and then they're off to sea and it's six months before anyone hears from them again. but this is 2017, however you imagine that the situ went down that the white house thought they told them to go to korea and the carrier thought they should just keep doing what they were doing, at some point, like about 4 hours after that, general maddog or the mcmasters guy that's a military genius has to be like, ok what's our eta on that carrier, ima check on that or, let's see if that carrier of ours is doing ok, maybe we should get them some more missiles or some crap. and then they find out it's still in the indian ocean and they all laugh and maybe fire some guy.
