From another list I am on.
NEWS: Second US amphibious strike group arrives off Iran's shores [On Jun. 20, the day the crackdown began in Iran, the U.S. expeditionary strike group known as LHD-5 Bataan or "Amphibious Group Two" passed through the Suez Canal, military sources reported Tuesday.[1] -- The commanding officer of the USS Bataan called the group "a versatile force that's able to respond to tasking at a moment's notice." -- Stratfor's naval update map showed the group to be in the Persian Gulf as of Jun. 24.[2] -- PR human interest stories from the Bataan assault group failed to mention where the group was or where it was headed.[3] -- The Daily News of Jacksonville, NC, reported that the group deployed (from its homeport of Norfolk, VA) in May before training had been completed for its maritime security mission.[4] -- BACKGROUND: Global Security's out-of-date description (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/a.../lhd-5.htm) of the group says that "The principal mission of WASP Class ships is to enable the Navy/Marine Corps team to accomplish a seamless transition from the sea to a land battle, primarily as the command ship of an Amphibious Ready Group. LHDs are specifically designed to lay off a troubled area of the world, and insert forces ashore by helicopters and 50 m.p.h. LCAC hover craft."[5] -- The USS Bataan, which is 844 feet long and carries (http://www.navsource.org/archives/10/08/0805.htm) 1,894 marines (plus 184 surge) as well as dozens of attack aircraft, can be seen leaving Norfolk on May 13, 2009, in this high-quality photograph. (http://www.navsource.org/archives/10/08/10080530.jpg ) -- LHD-5 is said to be relieving the LHD-4 Boxer group, which has been in the region since January. (http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/01/ma...nt_010709/) -- Thus the U.S. now has two expeditionary strike groups off the shores of Iran. -- (By the way, as of Jun. 25, the USS Bataan's web site (http://www.bataan.navy.mil/default.aspx) is still misreporting its location.) --Mark] http://www.ufppc.org/content/view/8782/
