USS Barry (DDG52) has docked in Georgian port of Poti on three days visit. The U.S Navy’s visit has come more than two months after Georgia’s five-day conflict with Russia in early August. Being a routine visit, no joint military exercises are planned. USS Barry is a guided missile destroyer.
The Georgians greeted the American destroyer Barry in a ceremony with wine. Reason ? Very interesting.
