The U.S. Navy’s dock landing ship Fort McHenry pulled into the Romanian port of Constanta on Monday for what officials term a “routine port visit” after transiting the Dardanelles Strait from the Mediterranean Sea the day before. That makes Fort McHenry the first American warship to enter the Eastern European waterway since Russia seized three Ukrainian vessels on Nov. 25 in the Kerch Strait. “We routinely operate in the Black Sea consistent with international law and the Montreux Convention and will continue to do so,” said Navy 6th Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Kyle Raines.
The US Navy is back in the Black Sea, sending a message to Moscow
The USS Fort McHenry, part of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group, has entered the Black Sea.
No, Russian does not own the Black Sea like Putin believes. Hopefully, the USS Fort McHenry will travel to the Ukraine port city of Odesa next.
24 Ukrainian sailors, kidnapped on the high seas on November 25, remain in a Moscow prison. The 'brave' Russian navy wouldn't dare mess with a US warship.

I'm sure Putin is delighted that Trump is pissing away more money on another useless show of force. 100 to one odds that the ship doesn't proceed to the Sea of Azov.

Could you post a quote from a legit news source where Putin said that Russia owns the Black Sea?
Back - post Christmas. Great comments by Dave and PoS.
Kidnapping foreign sailors on the Black Sea is a fairly good indication of his thoughts. Derp.
The Kerch Strait and Sea of Azov are jointly administered by Russia and Ukraine.

Arresting foreign spies within near shore limits is not kidnapping.

So you just made it up then. As expected.
The shore is Crimea, which is Ukrainian shore.....

Not according to Crimeans.

Bullcrap! If that ship has any intention of entering the Sea of Azov, it needs Russian permission and Russia will enforce that.

Russian permission to enter UKRAINIAN WATERS?
Since when?
Putin telegraphed his thoughts here. If you can't divine them, then that's on you Petr.
The Kerch Strait is 12 miles accross. Gonna need Russian permission within 12 mile limit.\/

Crimea is still Ukraine.
Fail less next time.
Glad you acknowledge you are in a fantasy World.
