  Is there a US Aircraft Carrier, Amphib assault, LHD in town? Just saw a MH-53 Sea Dragon fly by recognised it by distinctive rear view mirrors and humongous sponsons...
  
  
  they're flying north-south routes, so i guess sembawang air base is their destination, anybody got more info or pictures?
