Overview

  • South Korea's Navy said the Los Angeles-class USS Greeneville entered Busan for logistics and crew rest on Tuesday.
  • The Navy plans to use the port call to deepen exchanges with the United States and reinforce the combined defense posture.
  • It marks Greeneville's fourth visit to South Korea, following its previous port call in 2016.
