Yep, we have several ships there coordinating most of the naval stuff going on. That's why there was a big noise over the Sea King chopper that crashed, because that ship was going to take command of all naval ships from all countries in the area. We're either 3rd of 4th (depending on how you view that vs the 2000 troops from Australia), in how much military support they have for the war on Iraq.
If we were truly 100% anti-war and wanted to be pricks, we'd pull all of them out which would cause problems. We may dissagree with the US right now on the war on Iraq, but we aren't being stupid and causing them unnecessary problems. It's why I have issues over the trouble Bush is giving us over this (to be explained in another post later tonight).
