There are a bunch of boats over there as of today -- bbc.com
The US Navy has begun its most extensive manoeuvres in the Gulf region since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but denies sabre-rattling aimed at Iran. Two aircraft carriers, plus their strike groups, have sailed to the region and have begun war games involving as many as 100 US war planes.
The exercises follow Iran's capture of 15 British navy personnel, and high tension over its nuclear programme.
The US Navy said the exercises were not meant to exert pressure on Iran.
So you can scratch my dumb "they aren't reporting anything" post.
