Here in the combat direction center of this San Diego-based carrier is a screen with the names of eight ships — seven Iraqi- and one Kuwaiti-regis- tered. These are the suspects. There are the Ain Zalah Alfarabi, Za- noobia and Tarik Ibn Zayid, to name a few. Most are at anchor or are empty of cargo. The Zanoobia has already been boarded and is on its way back to Sri Lanka with a load of tea. Suddenly, the radio crackles with information about an Irani- an-registered freighter loaded with oranges and bound for Shar- ja, a large port in the United Arab Emirates. The ship is al- lowed to pass. The Independence, which ar- rived in the region three days after the Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait, is one of three carrier battle groups surrounding the Arabian Peninsula. Currently, the Independence is circling near the Strait of Hor- muz in the Gulf of Oman, ensur- ing that nothing slips through the United Nations-sanctioned em- bargo of Iraq.
