Royal navy to evacuate Brits from Yemen
Royal Marines are on standby off the troubled Arab state of Yemen to evacuate British citizens - following violent protests in the country which have left 400 dead. Britain has already sent 80 Commandos aboard one of the Royal Navy's support ships, the 31,000 tonne Royal Fleet Auxiliary Fort Victoria, to sit off Yemen. It will soon be joined by another RFA vessel, the 16,000 ton landing ship Cardigan Bay, which will be situated off the coast of Yemen. The three RFA's are part of the Royal Navy's Response Force Task Group which is currently launching Apache helicopter raids from HMS Ocean on Colonel Gaddafi's forces in Libya. RFA's Argus and Fort Victoria were diverted through the Suez Canal a fortnight ago to stand off Yemen.
