US Navy ships dock in Alexandria for first time since 2009

Pence’s visit coincided with the US Navy ships USS Carney and USNS Carson City docking at the Port of Alexandria, the first such visit of a US Navy ship to Alex since 2009, the US Embassy announced on Thursday. The visit reflects “the importance of the strategic partnership between our countries, between our militaries and between our navies,” US Embassy’s Deputy Chief of Mission Dorothy Shea said.
