If there is no artillery, the Marines are only 'lightly' armed.

I heard last night that the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) was in the Red Sea.. She normally carries a contingent of about 2000 Marines. They also mentioned the the Kearsarge just unloaded 1400 Marines to the Afghan T.O., If the it hits the fan, that means we have about 600 Marines to defend the Canal. I don't like the way this is all lining up ....
