SPLIT, Croatia (NNS) -- The guided-missile destroyer USS
Roosevelt (DDG 80) arrived in Split, Croatia for a routine, regularly scheduled
port visit, March 8th.
The port visit is designed to continue Naval Forces
Europe-Africa's efforts to strengthen maritime partnerships with European
countries. In addition these visits improve maritime safety and security in the
region.
During the visit, Sailors will have the opportunity to meet
with the people of Croatia and experience the rich culture and history the
country has to offer.
"The entire crew is looking forward to our port visit
in Split, Croatia," said Cmdr. Jay Clark, USS Roosevelt's commanding
officer. "It is uncommon to have port visits so close after each other,
but the crew is ready to see the beautiful sights in Split. We are always proud
to share the culture and tradition of the U.S. Navy with our partner countries
and we plan to be gracious guests as we enjoy the sights, food, and Croatian
culture."
Roosevelt is on a scheduled deployment as a part of the
George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group to support maritime security operations
and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.
