Russia and U.S start joint naval exercise in the Amur Gulf
The exercise will include mine-sweeping and anti-submarine operations, the mock interception of a vessel trespassing in territorial waters and a sea-rescue operation, said a spokesman.
The USS Lassen (DDG 82), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer; and the USS Patriot (MCM 7), a minesweeper, will participate in the drill.
Russia is represented by the Admiral Panteleyev, an Udaloy-class destroyer, a BT-100 minesweeper, a GS-84 survey vessel, and a RB-326 towboat.
The exercise, which is to run until September 30, will be followed by a memorial ceremony in honor of the crews of two submarines - the Soviet L-19 and the American Wahoo - killed in WWII.
The naval exercise is the third meeting of American and Russian sailors this year.
