To be clear, this analysis covers the 2015 incident, not the 2004 Nimitz incident.

To be clear, this analysis covers the 2015 incident, not the 2004 Nimitz incident. My point is that the extraordinary characteristics observed and analyzed here also accord with the observations of those involved in the earlier Nimitz incident, many of whom I was able to interview.
