US Navy sending rescue teams for Bahrain ferry
2006-03-31
The US Navy sent ships, helicopters and divers on Thursday as part of a concerted rescue effort to save nearly 150 victims of a ferry accident in the sea waters of Bahrain. Initial reports said there were casualties from the evening cruise that sank after it overturned less than a mile off the coast of Bahrain in the late hours of the day. - US Navy Lieutenant Trey Brown confirmed to KUNA that some small boats with divers were responding to the ferry accident.

The Naval Forces Central Command is headquartered in Bahrain, where they are responsible for the Navy forces of the 27 countries in the area stretching from Afghanistan to Djibouti, said Brown.
