It is the second time when USS Taylor visits a Georgian port. The first it visited Georgian port of Poti in December 2008.
"USS Taylor`s presence in Georgia is emphasized by the United States` desire to strengthen ties with NATO allies and partner countries, such as Georgia, and to promote peace and stability in the region together with them," according to a message from the U.S. embassy in Georgia.
The flagship of the U.S. Navy Sixth Fleet - USS Mount Whitney conducted drills with the Georgian coast guard six months ago.
