The Black Sea is a body of water bordered by Southeast Europe, the Caucasus, and Western Asia. There are no US ships currently in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n

The answer to this question is complicated and dependent on the definition of “Black Sea.” The Black Sea is typically considered to be the body of water bounded by Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, and Ukraine. However, some definitions of the Black Sea also include the waters off the coasts of Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, and Slovenia. As of September 2014, there are no United States Navy ships in the Black Sea, according to the U.S. Naval Institute’s “Fleet Tracker.”<\/p>\n

How many US warships are in the Black Sea? <\/h2>\n

The USS Ross, an American guided-missile destroyer, participated in the Sea Breeze 2021 naval exercise in the Black Sea last year. The exercise, hosted by Ukraine, involved 31 other ships from various countries. The USS Ross conducted various training operations with the other ships, including air defense and anti-submarine warfare. The exercise was a valuable opportunity for the American and allied navies to train together and improve their capabilities.<\/p>\n

According to the 1936 Montreux Convention, warships heavier than 15,000 tons are not allowed to enter the Black Sea. This includes aircraft carriers, which typically weigh in at around 100,000 tons. The US Navy has sent smaller ships into the Black Sea in the past, but not an aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n
