1. Very odd to me.

The U.S. Navy has a substantial base at Souda Bay, Crete.

Why on earth would they go first to Souda Bay, and then decide to move to Croatia for repairs? What facilities do they have in Croatia that they don’t have in Crete?

Something isn’t right. The damage must be severe if they can’t handle repairs at Souda Bay.
