This list is not current. There are well over a dozen ships in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and it is very possible several have crossed the Suez and we are simply not aware. The Orion 08 task force was out of Malta as of yesterday, and may already be in the Red Sea. If not, they will be next week. The Orion 08 task force is listed below.
