captain-price-officially:USS Ticonderoga transiting the Suez Canal en route to the Mediterranean Sea
captain-price-officially:USS Ticonderoga transiting the Suez Canal en route to the Mediterranean Sea, following a deployment in support of Operation Desert Shield, 22 August 1990.I’m not sharp shooting, this is a genuine question for those who might know. I’ll lead in with this. Desert Shield went from 2 August 1990 – 17 January 1991, I was on the ground on the Gulf 27 August 1990 until March 1991. If this ship was in the Gulf say in the start of August what was it supporting? US troops started landing in Saudi Arabia on August 7th 1990. Was the USS Ticonderoga part of one of the two Carrier Battle groups? Both the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and USS Independence we in the Gulf by 8 August 1990. Just a general question from an old Army dog face that likes to ask questions. -- source link
