In Aqaba, Jordan, there was no military move whatsoever in the last weeks. All in all, the quantities unloaded are nothing to the usual amount the US goes to war with. I think you are going to have some missiles going overhead in a few days. By Jon R. Anderson, Stars and Stripes European edition, Saturday, March 15, 2003 ISTANBUL, Turkey, Signaling impatience with the Turkish government, the United States on Friday began moving warships out of the Mediterranean into the Red Sea, where they could launch long-range cruise missiles on a path to Iraq that would not go over Turkey, officials said. Of the approximately one dozen ships to be shifted, a first group of five transited the Suez Canal on Friday, harbor officials at Egypt?s Port Said told The Associated Press. They identified the ships as the guided missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke of the Theodore Roosevelt battle group and the destroyer USS Deyo of the Harry S. Truman battle group. Three submarines from the battle groups also traveled through the canal ? the USS Boise, USS Toledo and USS San Juan, the officials said.
