#1 So much for loose lips sink ships. They better just make sure those little enemy (Al Qaeda) boats keep away from them.

#2 I am constantly amazed at just how much information on troop and ship movements is available by looking at local news reports on the internet. I get most of the material I post here from Google News. Once those ships pull out of port, though, they effectively vanish. Notice they are not going through the Suez this time.

#3 Surely these ships will be shadowed by some force able to prevent them coming to harm?

Navy surface ships or submarines perhaps? I find it hard to believe all this materiel is not defended in some way.

#4 As long as they stay out of port until they get where thry are going.Be hard to strike them with a fast attack gunboat 1,000 miles from shore.
