San Diego Based Warship Makes Rare Port Call

A San Diego based Warship has made a rare port call.

The U-S-S Cincinnati arrived in Cambodia over the weekend. It’s only the second U.S. Navy warship to stop there in 8 years.

The Navy said Cincinnati’s visit is intended to reinforce bilateral ties and support regional stability. “Cincinnati’s visit to Cambodia celebrates the continued partnership between the United States and Cambodia, reaffirming our shared commitment to regional security, peace and prosperity,” the U.S. Navy said in a statement.

“It is an honor to be welcomed by the Cambodian people at Ream Naval Base,” said Capt. Matt Scarlett, commodore of Destroyer Squadron 7. “We are always excited to work alongside our partners and continue to build a free and open Indo-Pacific for all nations.”

How long the ship will remain in port has not been disclosed by the Navy.
