Four United States Navy ships are expected to arrive in Liberia Monday at the start of a two week tour. The U.S. Navy ships - the HSV Swift, the USS Ft. McHenry, the USNS Bobo and the USNS Wheat, will be in Liberia's waters from March 17th - 31st, under the rubric of Africa Partnership Station.

The Executive Mansion quoting a communication from the United States Embassy, says the ships will deliver more than US $3-million worth of medical supplies to the Ministry of Health, JFK Hospital, Redemption Hospital, and the Logan Town Clinic. More than 23 medical, dental, and veterinary professions will offer training and care at various sites near Monrovia during the two week period.

While in the country, the Navy Seabees and other sailors on board the ships will assist in the renovation of selected Liberian schools and clinics. Some Seabees and Marines will provide training to AFL soldiers over the next couple of months. As part of the Africa Partnership Station, a Navy Brass Quintet will be performing at the American Corners in Monrovia, Buchanan, and Kakata.

The visit by the US Navy ships under the Africa Partnership Station is the first in Liberia's waters.
