	Slightly incorrect.  The two FFG which have been sent to the Gulf now
carry Sikorsky Seahawk choppers and the Success is carrying either a Seahawk
or a Seaking.  In addition the Success is carrying 8 Soldiers from the 16 AD
Regt. (Air Defence Regiment) based in Adelaide armed with 2 x RBS-70 Laser 
Guided MANPADS.  The Success is also armed with 2 x single 40mm L/60 Bofors
mounts.
