US
Navy sends ship to Russia’s Far East, reportedly prepares to enter
Black Sea
RT,

December, 2018
An
American destroyer sailed off the Russian coast, near the Pacific
Fleet base in Vladivostok, in a first such stunt since the Cold War.
Another US ship is expected in the Black Sea soon, amid tensions
between Russia and Ukraine.
The
USS MCCampbell (DDG-85) went into the vicinity of Peter the Great Bay
to “challenge Russia's excessive maritime claims and uphold the
rights, freedoms, and lawful uses of the sea” enjoyed by the US and
others, Lieutenant Rachel McMarr, a spokesperson for the US Pacific
Fleet, said in a statement.
The
US Navy calls such stunts “Freedom of Navigation Operations”
(FONOP). The last time a FONOP was conducted in this area was 1987,
at the peak of Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union.
The US sailed the guided missile destroyer USS McCampbell Wednesday "in the vicinity of Peter the Great Bay to challenge Russia's excessive maritime claims" in the Sea of Japan, according to the US Navy cnn.it/2Qy8b9a
These
operations demonstrate the United States will fly, sail and operate
wherever international law allows,” McMarr said. “That is true in
the Sea of Japan, as in other places around the globe.”
Peter
the Great Bay was named after the first emperor of Russia, and is
dotted with bases of the Russian Pacific Fleet. The presence of a US
destroyer in the area is comparable to a Russian sail-by of San
Diego, California or Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Washington
does not recognize Russia’s territorial claims in the Sea of Japan,
with a Navy official telling CNN they far exceed the 12 nautical mile
limit guaranteed by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
While Russia has ratified the convention, the US has not.
That
is not all, however. The US Navy could also be planning to send a
warship into the Black Sea in the near future. CNN reported that the
State Department has notified Turkey of the intent to send a warship
through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, which requires a 15-day
notice under the terms of the 1936 Montreux Convention.
The
1936 treaty also limits the presence of ships from nations that don’t
border the Black Sea to a maximum of 21 days. The US last had a ship
in the area back in October.

US officials told CNN the move was a response to last month’s
incident between Russian coast guard ships and three Ukrainian
vessels in the Kerch Strait, which connects the Sea of Azov to the
Black Sea.
“We
routinely conduct operations to advance security and stability
throughout the US 6th Fleet area of operations to include the
international waters and airspace of the Black Sea,” fleet
spokesman Commander Kyle Raines told CNN.
The
US has also repeatedly sent ships to the parts of East China Sea
claimed by Beijing, drawing repeated protests from China - most
recently last week, when the guided missile cruiser USS
Chancellorsville (CG-62) sailed through the area.
The
United States delivered Russia a 60-day ultimatum on Tuesday to come
clean about what Washington says is a violation of a 1987 nuclear
arms control treaty
The
Kremlin said on Wednesday that the United States was manipulating
facts in order to falsely accuse Russia of violating the
Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces arms control treaty and create a
pretext to leave it. Russia's General Staff chief Valery Gerasimov
added that Russia will retaliate against U.S. allies hosting U.S.
missiles in the case of confrontation - including with the use of new
laser technology.
“You
as military professionals must understand that the target for Russian
retaliation won’t be U.S. territory but the countries where the
intermediate-range missiles are deployed,” Gerasimov said in a
statement.
Bloomberg
reported Wednesday that Russia's Defense Ministry claimed it has
deployed laser weapons, including the Peresvet laser, which while
most of its capabilities remain secret is believe by military experts
to be capable of disrupting "drones, missiles and aircraft."
Russian
President Vladimir Putin unveiled multiple new weapon systems during
his annual address in March, the actual operational capabilities of
which were largely disputed at the time.
The
laser is named for a 14th century Orthodox monk who single-handedly
fought the Tatar champion at the Battle of Kulikovo.
The
United States delivered Russia a 60-day ultimatum on Tuesday to come
clean about what Washington says is a violation of a 1987 nuclear
arms control treaty, saying it would be forced to start a six-month
process of withdrawal if nothing changed.
