The crew from two US naval ships docked at the Da Nang Port repaired the doors and windows of a local elementary school on Sunday as part of goodwill activities during their stay in Vietnam.

The USS Lassen is commanded by Vietnamese-American Hung Ba Le, who said he and his crew had looked forward to their visit for a long time.

Before leaving Da Nang on Tuesday as scheduled, the crews will engage in other community activities including a visit to a local shelter for street children. They will also meet with the High Command of the Military Zone No.5 and Naval Zone C.
