The flagship of the First Permanent Naval Group of NATO, the USS Gravely rocket destroyer of the US Navy (DDG-107) approached potentially close to the territory of Russia.
According to the monitoring data of marine resources, on January 10 it entered the Baltic Sea through the Danish Straits.
According to open data, the destroyer is equipped with two Aegis missile defense systems on 32 and 64 cells for missiles, respectively. It can be armed in various combinations with Tomahawk cruise missiles, anti-submarine RUM-139 ASROC, or Harpoon anti-ship.
He is also armed with the Mark 127 45-mm artillery, Bushmaster's 25-mm anti-aircraft gun, as well as two Mk.324 X-guns with torpedo tubes, which can fire three torpedoes without reloading.
In the summer of 2016, the Russian patrol ship Yaroslav the Wise was conducting dangerous maneuvers near the USS Gravely in the Mediterranean Sea - it came within 300 meters. In addition, with weapons uncovered, he tracked the American aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower.
We also wrote about the USS Porter DDG78 US missile destroyer, which arrived last year in Odessa to participate in the exercises Sea Breeze-2018.
