Vice Admiral Scott H Swift, Commander of the Seventh Fleet of the United States Navy, arrived here on Tuesday for a two-day visit. The Vice Admiral is in India as the Co-chair of the Indo-US Navy Executive Steering Group.

Vice Admiral Scott Swift called on Vice Admiral Satish Soni, Commanding-in-Chief of Southern Naval Command.

Later he visited the training facilities at the Southern Naval Command.

Other programmes scheduled for the visiting US Admiral include a brief exposure to the state’s traditional performing arts.

The visit is expected to facilitate professional and social bonding between the senior leadership of the two Naval forces. Swift will leave for New Delhi on Wednesday.

The Seventh Fleet is the largest of the United States Navy, with around 70 ships, at least 300 aircraft and approximately 40,000 sailors and marines operating in a day.

USS George Washington is presently attached to the 7th fleet. In fact, it is the only forward deployed carrier at present in the entire USN.

USS Enterprise was inactivated from service in 2012, and is undergoing the process of decommissioning. Presently, she is being cut open and dismantled block by block in Norfolk, Virginia.

I am surprised the commies have not started crawling out of the woodwork to protest. They have a strong presence in kerela.
