The arrival of the naval force was preceded by a heavy deployment of security agents, altering the usual calm morning in the port area of San Juan, though the Dominica issue has gone unnoticed by the national news media, who pay little attention to the Navy U.S. since the end use of the scoring area of the island of Vieques and closed Naval Station Roosevelt Roads. But is not the same for governments in Latin America and heard voices of concern about escalating since the U.S. Navy announced the reactivation of the Fourth Fleet-an organizational type because it has no permanently assigned ships, to monitor the waters of Caribbean and South American coasts. In this season, have fulfilled missions in the area, besides Farragut-Kearsarge and the USS George Washington, USS Forest Sherman, USS Kauffman and USS Boone, among others.

Meanwhile, Farragut has pending more missions in the Caribbean after being too close to Venezuela, on the island of Curacao Netherlands, and stop at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The presence of both is the most striking sign yet of the kind of reception that the U.S. may be preparing for the arrival of Peter the Great and Admiral Chabanenko with two auxiliary vessels, participating in joint naval maneuvers with Venezuela from 10 to November. The operation follows on Russian naval exercises in two strategic bombers off the Venezuelan coast for several weeks.
