I assumed, but hadn't heard it called "Battle of the Black Sea" by anyone yet - my first thought at reading that was Crimea! :)
GHWB dumped in 20,000+ marines to protect aid workers distributing food from warring clans. He was goaded into the whole mess by the press showing starving people (not new to Africa, or dozens of other warring, oppressive regimes). Clinton tried to turn it into a 'nation building exercise', but decided the U.S. would do it with both of the big arms Reagan had procurred for us tied behind our back, and of course no stomach for casualties. Once two dozen guys got killed we realized there wasn't anything in that sh*thole actually worth a single American life and we bugged out. The shame is that GHWB got us in there in the first place. We get involved in ONE of the dozens of 'aggressions' and do we even get a thank you? Let'em rot. I don't pay taxes for an M-1A2 to leave it parked in Germany while Americans get pinned down in AFRICA by a huge pack of hooligans. I'm having a hard time fitting defense of the U.S. Constitution into that scenario...
