Hamilton boats are versatile, capable of performing a variety of operations, including defense, law enforcement, search and rescue and research. Usually used as part of aircraft carrier groups.
Earlier, the United States requested Turkey to enter the Black Sea, but changed its mind, and then placed boats in the Aegean Sea.
On the US Sixth Fleet website tell what ships there are.
The Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) conducted an engagement exercise with the Legend-class USCGC Hamilton (WMSL 753) national security boat in the Aegean Sea on April 26, 2021.
Roosevelt conducted a Visit, Land, Search and Seizure (VBSS) exercise, flight and photo exercise with Hamilton and its installed MH-65D Dolphin helicopter.
The U.S. Navy ships regularly work with the combined and allied forces to strengthen regional maritime security, joint readiness and naval capabilities, the Sixth Fleet said in a statement.
“Working with Roosevelt demonstrates that the Coast Guard, Marines and Navy are a unified naval service committed to maintaining a rules-based international order in the maritime domain,” said Capt. Timothy Cronin, commander of Hamilton. “These joint operations enhance our maritime security capabilities and enhance our readiness to conduct critical peacetime missions.”
