Kearsarge: docked in Souda Bay, Crete



David Ignatius says in video he is sure there are many other teams in there.
Amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge and the USS Ponce arrived at Souda Bay, Crete , carrying a total of around 4000 personnel, including 1300 US Marines docked at an American base .
The ships docked in Crete two days after 400 Marines, from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, also arrived in Crete.
Meanwhile, Canadian frigate HMCS Charlottetown plans to stop at Gibraltar on Wednesday to refuel. It's still unclear what the ship will do when it arrives at the Libyan coast on March 11.

Rhea: 26-year old, Panamanian-flagged, refloated






A salvage team finally managed to refloat the cargo ship that ran aground and settled in shallow water on the Rinconcillo Beach after dragging anchor in strong winds near the city of Algeciras, Spain. A line broke in the first high-tide attempt to float the ship, and operations were put on pause as the tide lowered. The 26-year old ship had stopped at an anchorage off the port to take on water and was empty at the time of the incident.
Panamanian-flagged Rhea is managed by Athens-based Blue Ocean Maritime and owned by Aliente Trading, which shares the same address.
