HANOI: The US Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington arrived in Vietnam’s Danang on Thursday for a five-day visit, the latest sign of growing ties between Washington and Hanoi. The port call comes nearly three years after the United States and Vietnam upgraded relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in September 2023. The visit is the fourth by a US aircraft carrier since the end of the Vietnam War and the first since USS Ronald Reagan called at Danang in June 2023.
