“The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin (DDG 89) arrived in Cam Ranh International Port today for a routine technical stop that highlights the strong historic, community, and military connections between Vietnam and the United States," the release stated on Thursday.
The Arleigh Burke class destroyer is outfitted with the sea based version of the Aegis ballistic missile and air defense system.
"Mustin's Sailors are excited to contribute to our partnership with Vietnam, knowing how important our relationship is to our mutual interests in peace, stability, and adherence to a rules-based international order," commanding officer of Mustin Cmdr. Thane Clare said.
USS Mustin, on patrol from Yokosuka, Japan, sails with a crew of 300 sailors and routinely operates throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific.
