India's finest take on the West's best
August 21, 2008
Along with the carrier Ronald Reagan, which is the latest and ninth ship of Nimitz-class with the displacement of 95,000 tonnes, five more surface ships of the US navy will be participating in the Arabian sea wargames.
These warships are guided missile cruiser USS Chancellor's Villa, guided missile destroyer USS Gridley and a guided missile frigate USS Thach and two auxillary ships USS Bridge and Decator.
It is for the first time that Supercarrier Ronald Reagan will be in action in waters close to the Indian subcontinent. Indian warships had exercises with USS Ronald Reagan in waters off Sri Lankan coast last year.
