Hello,

	The US and other countries are now maintaining a hefty naval presence
in the [Persian:Arab] Gulf. Can anyone list the ships that are stationed there
as well as their classes and other pertinent data. As far as I know, there
are now 2 Udaloi class ASW cruisers (USSR, and what the hell do they send ASW
ships there, except as a show I know not), 1 Nimitz class (CNV 69 Dwight D.
Eisenhower), 2 Forrestal class (CV 60 Saratoga and CV 62 Independence) - one
yet in transit, the Clemenceau is in transit, etc.

	Some of the names are known, but I do not have access to the ship data,
since my primary interest is military history (and in very limited fields).

	Thanks in advance,

	yaniv

[mod.note:  A run-down of US naval deployment was posted a day or so
ago, but I've seen nothing yet as to the forces of other nations stationed
in the area.  Comments ?  - Bill ]
