US continues transferring planes to Gulf
Natan Gutman, Ha'aretz
U.S. planes continue to be transferred to the Gulf area. The U.S. assault ship Essex left Sasebo naval base in Japan on Saturday and was expected to head for the Indian Ocean. The carrier USS Kitty Hawk, which carries about 70 aircraft, left its home port near Tokyo on Friday. Two carriers are already in the Gulf, and the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is making its way to the gulf.
