The US Navy currently has three warships operating in the Black Sea, a region Russia considers its back yard.<\/p>\n

USS Porter, a guided-missile destroyer, entered the waters on Thursday, joining two US ships that were already there. USS Donald Cook, another guided-missile destroyer, and the oiler USNS Laramie transited into the Black Sea on earlier.<\/p>\n

Russia deployed a Bastion mobile coastal defense system in response.<\/p>\n

Two US Destroyers Enter Black Sea; Russia Responds<\/h3>\n

The deployment of the two US Navy ships, along with a refueling ship, is the largest American presence in the waterway in three years.<\/em>

WASHINGTON: For the first time in three years the Navy has sent three ships \u2013 including two destroyers \u2013 into the Black Sea, just days after President Biden confronted Vladimir Putin about Russian policy.<\/p>\n

The move is sure to be read by Moscow as a statement of intent as the United States looks to confront Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine, attempts to assassinate political rivals and reformers at home, and continuing acts of violence against Russians in NATO countries, as well as the persistent threats Vladimir Putin\u2019s regime has made against NATO countries.<\/p>\n

The USS Porter entered the Black Sea this morning, less than a week after USS Donald Cook and the replenishment oiler USNS Laramie entered the waterway to start running through a series of exercises with NATO allies. Russia reacted promptly, moving a Bastion missile defense system into position in Crimea and making a show by running virtual drills, according to Russian state media.<\/p>\n

The two guided missile destroyers are conducting command and control and maritime multi-domain operations with US P-8 surveillance aircraft and NATO AWACS planes, Navy officials say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
