The United States’ destroyer, Carney, entered the Black Sea on Sunday.

“Carney’s arrival in the Black Sea demonstrates our continued commitment to security and stability in the region. Our time spent here will help us improve interoperability and the sharing of information and experiences with our partner nations.” Commander Tyson Young said.

The USS Carney is an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer.

While it is in the Black Sea, it will conduct security operations with partners.

The ship’s operations in the Black Sea are meant to enhance maritime security and stability, and combined readiness and naval capability with Black Sea allies and partners.

The ship’s arrival comes on the heels of Sea Breeze, where 19 countries performed NATO-planned naval exercises with Ukraine.
