 Navy Warship Stops in Myanmar for First Time Since WWII

Stars and Stripes | 21 Mar 2017 | by Tyler Hlavac

A port call to Myanmar this week by the USNS Fall River marks the first time a Navy ship has visited the Southeast Asian nation since World War II.

The expeditionary fast transport vessel arrived in Yangon, the country's largest city and former capital on Tuesday.
