Seven Carrier Strike Groups are putting out to sea in an exercise called Blinding Storm.

18 Ships from UK will be joining this exercise. (A lot of ships by UK standards).

Russian forces is also conducting Naval exercises in June.

A flotilla of Chinese ships is also putting to sea. (How many ships in a flotilla?)

Another link which is currently dead, are also talking about "maritime units of nine international navies, including the US, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Kuwait and Bahrain, participated in the exercise,"

Would ships not leave harbour in the event of Tsunami´s, which is what could be expected if the AB scenario materialises?
