'Proud Warriors' Welcome Detachment 10 Home
With the return of sister detachments Five and 10 from their six month deployment supporting the Kearsarge Exepditionary Strike Group, the HSL-42 Proud Warriors welcomed home the last of their deployed detachments. At least for a short while, the entire Proud Warrior tribe is home. After several months of work-ups, Detachment 10 (callsign "Los Diez") departed on deployment in early August aboard the Norfolk-based USS Carr (FFG 52). The ship sailed East making port visits in Augusta Bay, Sicily; Limassol, Cyprus and Aqaba, Jordan before entering the Arabian Gulf to perform maritime security operations. Detachment 10 aided Carr in oil platform defense south of Iraq by maintaining perimeter security around the Khawr Al Amaya and Al Basrah oil terminals. The oil exports from these two terminals account for approximately 85 percent of Iraq's economic revenues and the tankers and terminals count on the security provided by coalition forces.
