The USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier will arrive in South Korean waters in mid-March to take part in an annual joint military exercise, the US Forces Korea said Friday.
"The USS Carl Vinson is expected to arrive in Busan around March 15 to participate in the Foal Eagle exercise," a USFK spokesman told reporters.

The South Korean and US militaries on Wednesday kicked off the two-month field training exercise involving ground, air and naval forces. The US supercarrier will make use of its air assets, as well as its escort ships in the maneuvers that aims to deter North Korean aggression.
Separately, the allies plan to start the Key Resolve computer-simulated command post exercise on March 13 for a two-week run.
The US Air Force's F-35B stealth fighter will also take part in the ongoing war game to hone its precision ground strike capabilities, military officials said.
The US is expected to deploy other strategic assets, such as the B-1B and B-52 bombers, with the tiltrotor V-22 Osprey to make an appearance, in a show of force against the North, which has stepped up its nuclear and missile threats.
Some 10,000 US soldiers, including 3,600 from outside South Korea, and about 290,000 South Korean troops will join this year's Foal Eagle, the USFK and Seoul's defense ministry said. (Yonhap) 顶: 2踩: 71128
