The BBC says:
A US frigate docked in Vietnam on Wednesday, becoming the first US warship to visit since the Vietnam War. The USS Vandegrift sailed into Ho Chi Minh City with some of its 200 crew recording the moment on video cameras.
“The US and Vietnam are showing the world that former foes can become friends,” said Raymond Burghardt, US ambassador to Vietnam.
Just a thought: at the rate the US is making enemies (see: Syria, North Korea, Iran, Canada, Mexico, and all of Continental Europe), we’ll need an entire fleet of frigates to send out on kiss-and-make-up missions in the next few years.
