POTI, Georgia (Reuters) - The flagship of the U.S. Navy’s Sixth Fleet dropped anchor off Georgia’s Black Sea port of Poti on Friday, where Russian troops have been patrolling since last month’s war with Georgia.
The USS Mount Whitney, a sophisticated command warship based in Italy, is the third U.S. vessel to arrive on the Georgian coast with humanitarian aid for tens of thousands displaced by the conflict over Georgia’s breakaway South Ossetia.
