Popis:

Souda Bay, Crete, Greece - Mine warfare ship USS Gladiator (MCM 11) sits on the deck of Condock V, a Heavy Lift Vessel contracted by Military Sealift Command (MSC), during a brief port visit while transiting the eastern Mediterranean Sea. MSC chartered Condock V after receiving a request to transport Gladiator from Texas to Bahrain. Moving the mine countermeasures ship in this manner prevents the wear and tear of an open-ocean voyage. The 1,300-ton Gladiator was loaded onto Condock V in early December in a process called "float-on," which is used for cargo too large to lift by crane. A second mine countermeasures ship is scheduled to be transferred via heavy-lift on another Condock ship in the near future.
