flotilla

The flotilla first attempted to set sail on Sunday, but had to return to port due to stormy weather.

The 61 who survived had managed to make it off the platform and into the sea, where they were picked up by a small flotilla of vessels.

In 2010, Israeli commandos killed 10 people when they boarded Turkish ship Mavi Marmara that was leading an aid flotilla towards Gaza.

Aside from government jobs, fishing is the only viable way to make a living, and since the arrival of the Chinese flotillas even that has become difficult.

The flotilla of empty Chinese cargo ships and empty docks on the US West Coast will soon be seen in the economic data of an already shrinking US economy.
