U S Destroyers Visit Black Sea Prompt Peace Protest
Two U S Navy destroyers from the 6th Fleet sailed the Bosporus for a five day Black Sea cruise drawing Russian protests as a breach of the 1936 Montreux Convention. Moscow framed the move as a provocation and threat to peace while Turkish officials and Ankara rejected the charges and said the transit conformed to treaty limits. The visit is seen as a display of American naval strength amid a growing Soviet Mediterranean buildup with about 60 Soviet warships now active there.
