USS Truxtun Departs Souda Bay for Black Sea

The USS Truxtun left Greece’s Souda Bay on March 6 to join a training mission with the Romanian and Bulgarian naval forces in the Black Sea. This footage released by the US Navy shows the guided-missile destroyer casting off from Souda Bay, Crete. The movement comes as tensions remain high in Crimea after a referendum was set for March 16 to decide whether the region would become part of Russia.
