After a brief stop in Jakarta, the USS Fort Worth, a combat ship of the United States Navy, arrived in Singapore on Monday morning, to begin about 15 months of operations in the Asia-Pacific. It is the second US Navy littoral combat ship deployed in support of the Asia-Pacific rebalance, an initiative first announced by Singapore and the US at the Shangri-La Dialogue in 2011.
