The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and its strike group have arrived in South Korea for joint naval exercises in the wake of a new mutual defense pact between Russia and North Korea.
The warships entered the naval base in the southeastern city of Busan on June 22 local time, the South Korean Navy said in a statement. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is being escorted by a pair of Aegis-equipped destroyers, the USS Halsey and USS Daniel Inouye.
