The United States Embassy in Manila said on Friday that USS New Orleans, an assault ship that transports Marines and their equipment to their areas of assignment, will arrive Saturday with 360 sailors and about 750 embarked Marines from the California-based 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
The port call “highlights the strong historic, community, and military connections between the United States and the Republic of the Philippines,” the US Embassy said in a statement.
“This visit will allow the ship to replenish supplies as well as give the crew an opportunity for rest and relaxation,” said the embassy.
