English: PERSIAN GULF (March 28, 2007) - Iraqi Navy Ship P 101 pulls alongside Royal Forces Auxiliary Ship Sir Bedivere (L 3004) in the Persian Gulf. The Royal Marines will embark HMS Cornwall (F 99), in support of Maritime Security Operations (MSO). MSO help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. These operations deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or other material.
