Is *something about to happen*, Ramzi? I have an uneasy feeling about this...
I kinda doubt anything too serious going on...but its nice to see a US warship in the area....I apologize to all for such a short rough post...i.e. not much info and such... I haven’t posted an article in a long time, but I read the posts here on a regular basis and thought you all would like to know as soon as the USS McFaul docked.

NAPLES, Italy (NNS) — Two U.S. Navy ships and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter are getting underway to transport humanitarian relief supplies to Georgia. These deployments are part of the larger United States response to the government of Georgia request for humanitarian assistance.
USS McFaul (DDG 74) departed from Souda Bay, Crete, Aug. 20, and the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Dallas (WHEC 716) will leave later this week. McFaul and Dallas are scheduled to transit into the Black Sea and arrive in Georgia within a week.
USS Mount Whitney (LCC/JCC 20) is currently on loading humanitarian relief materials in her homeport of Gaeta, Italy, and will proceed to Georgia later this month.
The ships will deliver thousands of blankets, hygiene kits, baby food and infant care supplies to save lives and alleviate human suffering.snip
