Just checked Google Earth: it is over 200 miles from Bahrain to Kuwait. Helluva ways to go with an outboard RIB.
I’m hearing there was more to this story than what’s being reported.
Anyone got Navy contacts?
Navy landing craft (LCM’s if I recall) have a range of about 900 miles in calm seas. That is what I was told when I toured some amphibious ships in San Diego. The boat squadrons and landing craft are based across the bay in Coronado. I am sure there are some nervous Navy families today.
Not if they were dropped off or from a sub.
