Subtle signs of US involvement in Africa...

Playing on Google Earth today and ran across a C-130 parked at the Moi Airport in Kenya.  What has me confused is what I'm seeing at the ports.  I'm spotting what I believe is a Perry Class Frigate along with another Frigate/Destroyer sized ship nearby.  There is also an additional ship that appears to be some type of LPD that I can't quite make out.

Between spotting this and taking another look at Camp Lemonnier (I think they might have frozen that pic....it hasn't changed in days now) it seems the presence is expanding.

If you have any hints or tips on where I should look for US or allied forces operating in out of the way places...hit me up!

UPDATE:

Joe (thanks buddy) found this pic of a C-130 at Moi Airport on PlanePictures.net taken on Feb 20, 2012.
