The United States continues acting as the World’s oil police force, at taxpayer expense of course. On 17APR2022, the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/U.S. 5th Fleet (based in The Middle East) established a new international naval task force to “enhance” oil shipping lane security in the Red Sea area.

The Red Sea is the route taken by most petroleum tanker ships heading to NATO Europe. Remember, U.S. President Joseph R. Biden Junior promised NATO European countries that the U.S. would guarantee oil/natural gas shipments from The Middle East, to replace shipments from now sanctioned Russia!

Since 2001, the U.S. led naval oil protection force is known as Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), and claims to have onboard 34 countries. The new Red Sea oil protection police operation is called Combined Task Force (CTF) 153, it is the fourth such ‘Force’ to be created by the CMF (CTF 150, 151 & 152): “This is a tangible and meaningful demonstration of our commitment to ensuring regional maritime security and stability through international cooperation.”-Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and CMF

But don’t think it is a massive fleet of ships, CTF 153 consists of one boat, the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20). It should be noted that the USS Mount Whitney has served with NATO, and is also a NATO command ship for Naval Striking and Support Forces.
