Fox News <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2012\/01\/27\/navy-converting-ship-into-floating-commando-base-in-middle-east\/\">has confirmed<\/a> that the Navy is building a &#8220;mothership for Special Operations Forces in the Middle East&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>In case anybody wants to know any indepth information Fox News has this to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A market survey posted by the Military Sealift Command in December asked that ship be able to support mine counter measures.<br \/>\nSea mines are a concern in the Strait of Hormuz should Iran make good on its threats to close the vital oil passage way, an official told Fox News. <\/p>\n<p>The ship could be ready in four to five months time, officials said.<br \/>\nThe U.S. Special Operations Command has sought a transportable floating base for several years, The Washington Post reports.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;mothership&#8217; would reportedly help expand the range of commando squads operating from small speedboats in remote coastal areas, The Washington Post reports.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Or, more simply, a group of reporters heard some buzz words and had nothing else to file with their editors this weekend.

I&#8217;m unsure where the market surveys fit in.<\/p>\n<p>By all means, please attempt to deceiver that mess of a report.
