Geiselman | OTHER MILITARY FORCES IN KUWAITI THEATER OF OPERATIONS | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | CANADA | ------ | Brisbane DDG (mod US Adams-class) | Adelaide FFG | + supply ship | 450 troops | 1 ftr/atk sqn with 12 CF-18 (409th sqn 'Nighthawks') | Rotated out, December 1990 | -------------------------- | Athabaskan DDH-282 (Iroqouis-class) | Terra Nova DD-259 (Improved Restigouche-class) | Protecteur AOR-509 Er, I think that was a typo from the Australia posting: I doubt we have Brisbane/Adelaide. Crews are now rotating on the Athabaskan, Terra Nova (our oldest destroyer) and Protectuer, but the ships remain in the Gulf. News reports now have the naval forces on escort duty, with our senior naval officer commanding the portion of the multinational force charged with escoring vessels into and out of the gulf (not with the operational escorts of the fleets, you understand) --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | davecb@Nexus.YorkU.CA | lethe!dave 72 Abitibi Ave., | Willowdale, Ontario, | Even cannibals don't usually eat their CANADA. 416-223-8968 | friends.
