#UK to establish £15m permanent Mid East military base... Britain is to establish its first permanent military base in the Middle East since it formally withdrew from the region in 1971. The base, at the Mina Salman Port in Bahrain, will host ships including destroyers and aircraft carriers. The UK said it was an expansion of the Royal Navys footprint and would reinforce stability in the Gulf. #Bahrain will pay most of the £15m ($23m) needed to build the base, with the British paying ongoing costs. m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30355953
