More Photos of USS Mahan going through the Suez Canal

Beautiful isn't it!

Neat Photo of USS Mahan Transiting the Suez Canal Near Ismailia, Egypt March 16, 2009

Photo Caption: Egyptian school children stand on a pier in the port town of Ismailia, 120km northeast of Cairo, as US guided-missile destroyer USS Mahan transits the Suez from the Red Sea towards the Mediterranean on its way back home after a six-month counter-piracy operation around the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Gulf, Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. On February 12, the Mahan helped capture nine Somali pirates after responding to a distress call from a merchant ship. The warship is coming from the Indian Ocean where it spent seven months as part of the anti-piracy mission Combined Task Force 151.


I copied this photo and captions from an email I received from Ronald this morning.
