No, nothing prescheduled. Correction of the lead ship. The Cole is the closest and will be there first with a few support ships. The amphibious assault ship USS Nassau will bear the flag (mini-flattop) and is en route to the Mediterranean along with guided missile destroyers USS Bulkeley and USS Ross.
Gaza continues to heat up as rumors are building that Israel will finally move into Gaza to try to eliminate the missile threat there. It is probable that this would happen sooner rather than later IF the suspected Hezbollah revenge attacks start in the north after March 22-23ish, that way IDF can redeploy forces northward as necessary.
The Jawa report is indicating that Adam Gadahan met his fate from the same attack that nailed Abu Laith al-Libi last month.
