One of the most modern ships of the US Navy, the USS Hershel "Woody" Williams helicopter carrier, is expected to arrive at the Cretan port today.
The US warship, making its first voyage since launching in March, is 230 meters long and belongs to the 6th Fleet.
It is named after Marine Hershel "Woody" Williams, best known in the United States for his heroism in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II, for which he was awarded a medal by President Truman on October 5. 1945.
The arrival of this ship in Greece was announced last week by the US Ambassador to Greece, Jeffrey Payat
