U.S aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan makes second port call to HK
The USS Ronald Reagan, the U.S. Navy's newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, arrived in Hong Kong Wednesday morning for a scheduled port visit, the second of its kind since June last year.
"It is a privilege for us to make our second port call to Hong Kong, an international city rich in history, culture and tradition, " said Rear Admiral Charles W. Martoglio, commander of the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group.
"Hong Kong is also a favorite port visit for our sailors," he said.
Captain Terry B. Kraft, the ships commanding officer, echoed his view, saying that the crew was excited to return to Hong Kong, especially after last year's successful visit during the ship's maiden deployment. "This will be a welcome break from our very busy deployment schedule."
While in Hong Kong, 250 crew members will take part in ten community relations projects from Thursday to Friday, including assisting at orphanages and rehabilitation centers as well as working at a dog rescue facility, said Martoglio.
The warships that arrived in Hong Kong with USS Ronald Reagan included the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain, the guided- missile destroyers USS Russell and USS Paul Hamilton as well as USS Greenville submarine.
Martoglio estimated that the more than 6,000 sailors aboard the ship could spend as much as one million U.S. dollars daily in Hong Kong.
USS Ronald Reagan was commissioned in July 2003, making it the ninth Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The ship is named after the 40th U.S. president.

I think HK tourism can tell us where exactly the boats are. Last time, when Queen Mary II was coming to town, they were quite helpful.  |
