Galrahn - today - lists in 5th Fleet AOR:
- the Reagan CSG (CSG 7)
- the Iwo Jima ESG (transitioned in last week)
- the 8 minesweepers (4 USN, 4 RN) forward-deployed to the Persian Gulf
- other foreign (war)ships: five French, three Malaysian, two British, one Danish, one Singaporean, one Canadian, one Australian
Now, the Canadian ship (Ville de Quebec) is not officially part of CTF 150, but instead is officially escorting supply ships into Somali ports.
Of the five french units, two are known to be semi-dispatched to CTF150, the other three are forward-stationed units (out of La Reunion).
The three Malaysian, the Singaporean and the Danish ship are all CTF 150 completely for sure, HDMS Absalon is the CTF ship for the flotilla. The Singaporean ship and one of the Malaysian ones are LSTs used for support and helo ops.
The Australian and two British ships i'm not sure of regarding their disposition toward a certain fleet. At least one of the British ships would be in CTF 152, since the RN had command of that flotilla until today.
Any US units active around the area are taken out of the CSG and the ESG, which represent the entire US forces in the region that also includes the Persian Gulf, Red Sea and entire Indian Ocean.
