Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Ross ( DDG-71 ) has entered the Black Sea.
As per the statement released by U.S. 6th Fleet, “ Ross is conducting maritime security operations and enhancing regional maritime stability, combined readiness and naval capability with NATO allies and regional partners,”
Cmdr. Dave Coles, commanding officer of Ross, said in the statement, “Our allies in the Black Sea continue to play a key role in maintaining security in the European theater. The crew and I look forward to enhancing our interoperability in a dynamic environment as well as experiencing the rich history and culture in this region.”
Viewers may note that according to the Montreux Convention, signed in 1936, which regulates the transit of naval warships in the Black Sea, non-Black Sea nations can only send vessels which have displacements of less than 15,000 tons and these ships can stay for a maximum of 21 days. USS Ross is well within the limit and the transit is not in violation of Montreux Convention.
Russian National Defense Management Center, "The Black Sea Fleet forces are constantly monitoring the movement of the US Navy’s Ross guided-missile destroyer that entered the Black Sea on April 14, 2019"
It further added “Upon entering the Black Sea, the US navy ship was placed under constant monitoring involving the Fleet’s coastal surveillance facilities. In addition, the Vasily Bykov patrol vessel and the Ivan Khurs reconnaissance ship are directly monitoring the US warship’s activities,"
