First US Warship Arrives in Bulgaria This Year to Back NATO Presence in Black Sea – Navy

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The first US warship to deploy to the Black Sea in 2020, the Ross, arrived in the Bulgarian port of Varna to reinforce NATO’s continuous presence in the contested waterway, the Navy announced in a press release on Thursday.

The Navy said the ship’s operations in the Black Sea will strengthen interoperability with NATO allies and partners and demonstrate collective resolve to Black Sea security under Operation Atlantic Resolve.

The Ross, an Arliegh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer that is forward-deployed at Naval Station Rota, Spain, is conducting naval operations in the US 6th Fleet area of operations.

Russia deployed warships from its Black Sea fleet to monitor the Ross as soon as the destroyer entered the contested waterway and began heading north to Bulgaria, Sputnik reported earlier.
