US warship arrives in China for visit
A top grade US guided missile destroyer arrived at one of China's main ports as part of efforts by the two countries to increase military-to-military exchanges, AFP reported.
The USS Curtis Wilbur, an Arleigh Burke class Aegis guided missile destroyer will spend several days at Qingdao, a key port of China's North Fleet, officials said. "This is an opportunity for the US personnel to meet their counterparts in the People's Liberation Army navy," US navy officials said. "The port call will provide the crew of more than 300 sailors aboard USS Curtis Wilbur a chance for sightseeing and cultural exchanges." The USS Curtis Wilbur is deployed to the Western Pacific and operates out of Yokosuka, Japan. It is part of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier group. The destroyer is equipped with the Aegis Combat System which integrates the ship's sensors and weapons systems to engage anti-ship missile threats.
