Russian Warship ETA
The Russians are Coming (click on information dissimination)
I ran across a blog with pictures of a couple of dangerous looking ships off the coast of Somalia.
See them here at Bloggism.net
I have no idea what they are, but it's fun to speculate. Maybe the Russians are planning an attack from land? Notice the one ship is beached.
The Neustrashimy really should be close to reaching the location of the M/V Faina by now. Maybe one of these ships is the Neustrashimy.
I would like to see the Russians do something. However, they don't generally have much regard to the lives of those held captive. I hope they will this time.

I think the ship off the coast at bloggism is just some old, converted landing ship. Lots are employed for commercial purposes, and no nation would mount an "invasion" with one such craft. It is hard to tell, though, what sort of ship it is, given distance/perspective.
As far as the Russian frigate is concerned, barring engineering casualties, she is *probably* in the middle of the Med nearing the Suez Canal, nowhere near the Gulf of Aden. If that is where she is bound, she won't arrive on station until sometime this weekend.
