And in the silence of a swarming Persian Gulf, where the blue of the water seems to meet the foggy horizon of a half-paranoid region, two huge ships in no very distant water have just set out to play a game of chess, based upon high stakes, in the sea. Two Indian flagged tankers, the BW Tyr and the BW Elm which transported 94,000 tonnes of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), managed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz this weekend.

Rohit Sharma, the boy who is constantly mocked due to his…

The Pacific fog tends to stick to the side of the hull of a vessel as an icy memory yet as USS Tripoli (LHA-7) made it through the harbor and turned the bow towards the horizon something different could be felt. And it was not only the salt spray, or the clatter of the gas turbine propellers. It was the concerted sigh of 3,500 Marines and Sailors who are starting a voyage which cuts through half the globe and bears with it the somber burden of geopolitics.
