Three NATO frigates and a US guided missile destroyer have entered the Black Sea in what the US naval command described as part of an ongoing effort to enhance regional stability and a sign of support for NATO member-states, Russian media reported on Friday.
–
The American guided missile destroyer USS Ross is accompanied by three missile frigates, Francis Almejida (Portugal), Blas de Lezo (Spain) and Winnipeg (Canada).
–
“USS Ross (DDG 71) will enter the Black Sea, Dec. 3, 2015, to promote peace and stability in the region,” the US Navy Sixth Fleet’s press release said.
–
It also noted that the ship’s mission in the Black Sea would be to provide maritime security and military readiness for US “allies and partners.”
–
The USS Ross is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile cruiser, armed with the Aegis cruise missile system, which is capable of carrying up to 56 nuclear-armed Tomahawk missiles. The ship class is also capable of carrying an SH-60 Seahawk multi-mission helicopter, and has a crew of 337 seamen.
–
On October 20, the USS Ross intercepted a ballistic missile as part of exercises testing elements of the US missile shield in Europe.
–
Turkish media said that the NATO naval group had arrived at a time when tensions between Turkey and Russia were at their highest. During a November 30 meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg pledged full support for “Turkey’s right to protect its airspace and borders.”
