Da Nang, Vietnam (July 28, 2004) -- Vietnamese military officials watch
as USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG 54) prepares to moor in the Vietnamese port
of Da Nang. The Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer is on
scheduled port visit, and is the second U.S. Navy ship to visit Vietnam
and the first to visit Da Nang since 1973. These visits symbolize the
continuation of normalized relations between the United States and
Vietnam. Curtis Wilbur is part of the Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group
(CSG), the Navy's only permanently forward deployed carrier strike
group, currently operating from Yokosuka, Japan. U.S. Navy photo by
