If those grain silos were not there, the ship probably would have been sunk.

I was there in as part of MARG 1-83.

We pulled into Beirut Harbor on small boats and up to LCUs all the time. In 1983, you had to avoid sunken ships in the harbor.

I was thinking the same.

I am always amazed at the ships in port when I visit.

Both commerce and the military spans the world.

Spot on, I immediately thought the same thing after seeing that picture, and being familiar with the geography from looking at all the pics yesterday.
