Singapore has sent another navy transport ship to support US-led coalition forces in the Gulf, the defence ministry said.
The RSS Resolution and its crew of about 175 is the fifth Landing Ship Tank to be sent to the Gulf in support of operations in Iraq since 2003, the ministry said.
The vessel would provide logistic support, protect the waters around key oil terminals and conduct patrol and boarding operations during its three-month mission, the ministry said.
Singapore has also previously deployed a Hercules C-130 aircraft and aerial refuelling tankers to the Gulf.

Singapore: lap dog state of the US, presently helping the Imperial Master in an ILLEGAL war against an strawman "enemy".
Singaporeans, hang your heads in collective shame. That includes the opposition parties and their supporters.
