Two Amphibious Assault Ships 'Parked Off of Egypt'
WASHINGTON -- As political unrest continues in post-coup Egypt, two amphibious assault ships have moved to the coast there, the commandant of the Marine Corps said Thursday.
The USS Kearsarge and the USS San Antonio “moved up into the Red Sea and parked off of Egypt,” a couple of nights ago, “because we don’t know what’s going to happen,”
The two ships are “there on purpose,” he said. “That’s the flexibility that in a response to a crisis we have to have.”
The two Virginia-based amphibious assault ships are “there on purpose,” Amos said.
