Guided-missile destroyer USS Ross conducting exercise with the Ukrainian navy Frigate Hetman Sahaydachniy

As reports the official website of the U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet, the Arleigh-Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) kicks off a two-day underway exercise with the Ukrainian navy Frigate Hetman Sahaydachniy (U 130) on June 1, 2015, in the Black Sea.

 

“The purpose of Ross’ presence in the Black Sea is to reassure NATO allies and regional partners of the United States’ commitment to working closely with them to enhance maritime security and stability in the region,” says the report.

 

 

“Working with our partners in the Black Sea helps build greater regional awareness. Naval exercises with partners like Ukraine allow us to increase our joint capabilities and interoperability. As always, the Ukrainians’ conduct was very professional, and working with them today made our relationship stronger” said Commanding Officer of the USS Ross Commander Tadd Gorman.
