Northern Arabian Gulf (May. 17, 2004) The tugboat Al-Towfan cranes equipment over to the Al Basrah Oil Terminal (ABOT) while the mine countermeasure ship USS Dextrous (MCM 13) and the guided missile cruiser USS Yorktown (CG 48) provide perimeter security. U.S. Navy Seabees from Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bahrain are making improvements for the living conditions of the Interim Marine Corps Security Force (IMCSF) company from Bahrain, and Iraqi Security Forces that provide vital protection to the terminals. Since July 2003, Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya oil terminals have pumped more than 385 million barrels of oil to more than 235 tankers, resulting in more than $10 Billion in revenue for the Iraqi people.
