    Due in Portsmouth on Wednesday 17th. June are four Indian Navy ships. They are INS Delhi, INS Beas, INS Brahmaputra along with the tanker INS Aditya. They will be under the command of Admiral Surider Pal Singh Cheema. INS Delhi sister ship is the INS Mumbai which had a SEA King onboard when she visited Portsmouth in 2005. They are here for Exercise Konkan.

    The U.S.S. Kearsarge COULD BE in Portsmouth Harbour at the same time as the U.S.S. George Bush visit. If so it has six Harriers , V-22 Osprey's plus some helicopters onboard. I would expect the helicopters to be UH-1 Iroquois and H-53 Sea Stallion and maybe SH-60 Seahawk. This info came from a web site I found and was by a member of the press. He did mention the fact that was six Harriers onboard and that one of the V-22's rescued the downed F-15E Strike Eagle pilot in Libya.

    Queens Harbour Master notice 39/11. Local Notice To Mariners.......Visit Of A Nuclear Powered Vessel To The Solent 27-31May 2011. No time given, also U.S.S.Truxtun DDG 103 is rumoured to be visiting Portsmouth Harbour plus a possible one other. I think the U.S.S. Kearsedge is a non-runner. But it would seem that the visit to Stoke Bay of theU.S.S. George H W Bush CVN-77 is on. I will be down there. Any one else going?
