que hace una fragata española integrada en un grupo de combate pululando por Irán?...¿no eran los del "No a la guerra"?... "El Pais" bién que se encarga de no aportar ese dato, diciendo "Además, la fragata de la Armada Méndez Núñez se encuentra a "unas horas de navegación" de aguas de Somalia.", así, sin especificar nada más. ¿Por qué ocultan ese dato?

The aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious departs Portsmouth on Monday 21st January 2008 to lead a multi-national Task Group to the Indian Ocean region for exercises over the next four months. The Task Group incorporates more than 2,500 personnel, 13 ships, a nuclear powered submarine and fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft.
Orion 08 is an element of the UK’s continued commitment to boosting peace and stability in the area by exercising with a number of navies in the region. During its deployment the Task Group will be visiting 20 ports in the Mediterranean, Africa, Middle East, South Asia and the Far East.
The deployment is part of the RN’s regular operating pattern, repeating a similar deployment to the Indian Ocean in 2006. It will exercise deploying a maritime strike force for a prolonged period away from the home base and working with allies.
During the deployment, the ship will carry Ground Attack Harriers flown by Royal Navy and RAF pilots from the Naval Strike Wing and No 1 (Fighter) Squadron Royal Air Force, both part of the UK’s Joint Force Harrier. Also on board will be Merlin Anti-Submarine Warfare Helicopters from 814 Naval Air Squadron.
Units in the group include the Air Defence Destroyer HMS Edinburgh, the multi-role Frigate HMS Westminster, the nuclear powered submarine HMS Trafalgar, and Royal Fleet Auxiliaries Wave Knight, Fort Austin, Diligence and Bayleaf (carrying fuel, ammunition, stores and food). Also working with the Task Group are USS Cole (an American Arleigh Burke Destroyer), SNS Mendez Nunez (Spanish F100 class Aegis Frigate), FS Jean Bart (French air defence destroyer), supported by UK Mine Countermeasures Vessels HM Ships Chiddingfold and Atherstone.
Por suerte, en la de la Royal Navy británica no tienen nada que ocultar.
Por suerte.
