English: Seaman Ricardo Ponche untangles a heaving line as the People's Republic of China destroyer Harbin (DD 112) is moored in San Diego, Calif., on March 21, 1997, for a first-ever visit by People's Republic of China Navy ships to the mainland U.S. Harbin and two other People's Republic of China ships are visiting Southern California for the second part of a goodwill visit between the U.S. and Chinese navies. The ships visited Hawaii on their way to San Diego. The U.S. and the People's Republic of China navies are the two largest fleets in the Asia-Pacific region. Interaction between the two navies increases mutual understanding and confidence. During the visit Chinese sailors will have the opportunity to meet their U.S. Navy counterparts, tour U.S. ships and experience American culture in Southern California. The destroyers Harbin and Zhuhai, and supply ship Nancang will moor next to the U. S. Navy's aircraft carrier USS Constellation (CV 64), at Naval Air Station North Island. |
