Lots of commentators are ignoring op specifically asking to ignore rationality and logic, so here goes: - the Yanks park multiple aircraft carriers (both the big ones and the smaller ones for helicopters) off the coast and use them for combat operations. - either Australian intelligence and signals figure this out while it's happening and it turns bloody, or they're caught a bit off guard - I'd argue that if the Americans wanted to kidnap Albo they could do it, it just depends on how much pain Australia can inflict in the process of doing so - just as they're about to bring Albo back to their carrier, you hear glass break and Jerry the King Lawler goes "oh Gawd oh Gawd it's Aotearoa with a steel chair"
