That tells me that not only has the U.S. Navy fleet headquarters in Bahrain is no longer providing sustainment- they must be operating on hi tempo without regular replenishment at sea. You got a lot of ships to care for, Bahrain is out, so reproving either at sea while underway or whatever quick port call can be squeezed in in Israel (Red sea), Crete (med) or Oman.

Yep- Trump needs to declare victory and get them all out of there.
