UK Navy Helps Stabilize Middle East Shipping
(Reuters) Jonathan Saul - Vice Admiral Jerry Kyd, the Royal Navy's Fleet Commander, said Thursday that Britain had "committed quite a few ships, aircraft and other capabilities to the Strait of Hormuz area." The Royal Navy last week said that nearly 90 British merchant ships had been "safely shepherded" through the Strait of Hormuz over the past two months. It said the HMS Montrose frigate was forced to fire flares on more than a dozen occasions to warn off Iranian forces. "We are the British Royal Navy and we look to support and protect our own ships," said Kyd.
