USS Blue Ridge sails into Malaysia

After paying calls to several ports in Malaysia over the years, the USS Blue Ridge is back at Port Klang. The USS Blue Ridge is the flagship of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, the largest of the American Navy's forward-deployed fleets. The Navy says the ship's visits represent an opportunity to promote peace and stability in the South Indo-Asia Pacific region and an opportunity to foster growing relationships. One way the US is building ties with Malaysia is through the awarding of three US service academy scholarships to Malaysian students.
