BLACK SEA (NNS) -- The U.S. 6th Fleet flag ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20), with 300 Sailors and Military Sealift Command civil service mariners onboard, arrived in the Black Sea Feb. 4 to conduct scheduled maritime security operations. USS Taylor (FFG 50) will arrive in the Black Sea today.

Both ships will perform routine operations in the Black Sea to establish and enhance cooperation, mutual training and interoperability with regional partner nations and allies.

Taylor, with a crew of approximately 200 Sailors, is currently on a scheduled deployment supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.

This is in support of US olyimpians in case they need evacuating in response to terrorist threat.

We have enough missiles to destroy the planet several times over. Which is important really. More important than health, environment and well, anything else.

Here's Britain's latest $300 million project. Can't think of anything better to spend the money on. If your homeless, hungry and sick this will bring great comfort. - view external link

Oz, I frequently get the impression that our government thinks it is the homeless, hungry, and sick who are the real waste of money ...
