Fear of Iraqi minelaying in the Persian Elulf has prompted the Navy to increase its nine countermeasures forces with the de- parture from Norfolk on Oct. 5 of six MH- East. 53E Sea Dragon helicopters and 300 sailors from Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14. Minesweepers Avenger, Adroit, Impervious and Leader arrived in the Gulf in late September. Allied navies have increased their forces in the Gulf Britain is adding a destroyer to the one destroyer, two frigates and three minesweepers already in the region. Nor- way plans to send the cutter Andenes. Den- mark is sending the cutter Olfert Fischer and Argentina is sending the destroyer Al- mirante Brown and the corvette Spiro. The largest contribution on a per-capita basis might be from Belgium, which is con- sidering plans to send one of its four frig- ates to join Gulf forces. Japan, which was considering sending three minesweepers or possibly a dwtroyer, has backed off because of intense domestic opposition. By David s. sseigman Ships crowd Mideast waters WASHINGTON - The Arabi- an Sea and the Persian Gulf are rapidly taking on the appearance of an international naval review, as almost 100 warships from 15 nations monitor commercial ship- ping and each other. More than half the warships are from the United States, in- cluding carriers Independence and John F. Kennedy and the battle- ship Wisconsin. A third carrier, Saratoga, is op- erating in the eastern Mediterra- nean Sea and a fourth carrier, Midway, is in the South China Sea. Both carrier battle groups 1re only six days steaming time rom the Arabian Sea. Saratoga is accompanied by Ae- gis cruiser Philippine Sea and -'Iidway by the Aegis cruiser Bun- ker Hjll. Each carrier battle group also includes four destroyers and frigates and two support ships. Other U.S. ships included one command ship, three cruisers, two destroyers and five frigates in the Persian Gulf, one carrier, three cruisers, two destroyers, two trig- ates, three oilers and support ships in the Indian Ocean!Arabian Sea. The Navy also has five am- phibious assault ships, five am- phibious transport docks, four dock landing ships and seven tank landing ships carrying about 22,000 Marines in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf About six fast attack submarines are operat- ing in the Indian Ocean and two are in the Persian Gulf The Military Sealitt Command See CROWD page 68
