The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Delbert D. Black departed Eilat, Israel, on Saturday following a scheduled port visit, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command announced. During the visit, crew members provided a tour of the ship for senior staff from the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem and the Israeli Navy, and ship leadership met with the commander of Eilat Naval Base.
"Delbert D. Black's port visit emphasizes our long-standing partnership with Israel," said Cmdr. Ezra T. Hatch, commanding officer of the destroyer. The U.S. Navy said the visit demonstrates the shared commitment to advancing security in the Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Aqaba, and the Red Sea.
