Unidentified 'Flat Top'.

Whilst routing up from Sharm el Sheik to El Arish in Egypt last thursday at FL330 I noticed a ship in the Red Sea. It was heading north, small aircraft carrier or helicopter carrier size. Didn't have much of a wake behind it or smoke stack and it didn't seem to be in much of a hurry. Anybody know if the French or Americans have anything in the area. It didn't seem to have an escort but was definately large, grey, flat decked with markings visible through bino's from 5.5 miles up.
