Update: U.S. sending the USS Hershel "Woody" Williams (ESB-4) to the Eastern Med in the "very" near future. It arrived in Naples,Italy today for refueling before it heads to the Eastern Med to meet up with the Greek fleet.

Williams is attached to the U.S. 6th fleet. It is Lewis B. Puller-class expeditionary sea base, that carries Helicopters.

Hershel "Woody" Williams will be the first Navy ship other than the Littoral Combat Ship to deploy the Northrop Grumman MQ-8 Fire Scout rotary-wing UCAV.

Re: Looks like Greece is forming a blockade (Update:unprecedented concentration of naval forces in the EastMed region.)
In 2017, the MQ-8B will receive a mine-detection sensor for use in littoral waters called the Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis (COBRA). The COBRA is designed to detect naval mines at a safe distance from a Littoral Combat Ship operating in coastal waters, and also has the capability to locate submarines through acoustic detection if they are on or near the surface.[16] COBRA takes the place of the Fire Scout's usual EO/IR sensor.[17]

Is Turkey stretching itself too thin? It's projecting south, west, and southwest.

It would be interesting to see Syria, Greece, and Egypt all come at Turkey at once. That would be a weird escalation of events.

This morning, the amphibious helicopter carrier Tonnerre and the frigate La Fayette conducted an exercise at sea with the Greek Navy. A first concrete illustration of the strengthening of our cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean.

I doubt many in the Balkans really want to see the return of the Ottoman Empire that Gollum seems to dream of.

If the Pasios prophecy is coming true, Turkish ships sink real soon.. but according to him it's not Greece that sinks them.. I wonder is it the French...or possibly Russia? but I feel like they enter the fold later..

I have friends in Turkey.I'll call them right now to see situation from first hand.
 Quoting: BadAssKicker


Please.

Ask them what information if any they are getting about the supposed incident between the Greek and Turkish ships.
 Quoting: Tekton


So far everything I've read Indicated that the Turk meko 200 took the worst of the damage from the one incident.

Judging by how long it took turkey to even mention it, I'm going to say that this is most likely the case.
 Quoting: roguetechie81


Sounds like both ships were damaged and the Turkish one more, but the Greek had to be tugged into port, so...

It was a kamikaze mission, I think.
