US Arleigh Burke-Class Guided Missile Destroyer Ports in China
14:40 GMT 08.08.2016 (Updated: 11:07 GMT 06.08.2022) The US ship Benfold, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, arrived in Qingdao, China for a scheduled port visit, the US Navy announced in a press release on Monday.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The press release described the week-long port visit as an opportunity to advance maritime cooperation and boost relationships between the US and Chinese navies.
"This port visit is a tremendous opportunity to build relationships between sailors based on shared interests and perspectives," Benfold Commander Justin Harts said.
Maritime relations between the United States and China have faced challenges in recent years, as Washington has carried out a series of freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea, where Beijing claims sovereignty.
