NORFOLK, Va. - As part of its faster response to requests from overseas, the Navy announced Tuesday it is sending five ships to the Middle East with a mission to disrupt terrorist operations at sea.

The 2,800 sailors had less than two months' notice that they would leave this week and next to spend about three months in the Mediterranean and Red seas.

According to a DUer there, this is an assault configuration.

6. This is an assault configuration!!

The amhib ships are to land marines the other 2 are to protect the amphib ships. Either they need to send it more marines because things really such in Iraq or they are planning on another invasion.
