US Navy enters Barents Sea near Russia for first time since Cold War
The U.S. Navy is back in the Barents Sea for the first time since the Cold War.
Three American destroyers, a combat support ship and a British Royal Navy frigate have entered the waters north of Scandanavia and Russia to conduct joint security operations, the Navy announced Monday.
“In these challenging times, it is more important than ever that we maintain our steady drumbeat of operations across the European theater, while taking prudent measures to protect the health of our force,” said Vice Adm. Lisa Franchetti, commander of the U.S. 6th Fleet.
“We remain committed to promoting regional security and stability, while building trust and reinforcing a foundation of Arctic readiness,” she added.
The exercises have been taking place in areas with temperatures as low as -14 degrees Fahrenheit.
