                 US Aircraft Carrier in South Korea for Drills

   A U.S. naval strike group led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier
   USS Nimitz has arrived in South Korea for joint naval exercises that
   are very likely to bring a strong response from North Korea.
   The Nimitz made a port call at the southeastern port city of Busan
   Saturday for a three-day stay to participate in joint military drills.
   The U.S. Navy says the carrier`s strike group, which arrived in the 7th
   Fleet`s area of responsibility last week, includes guided missile
   destroyers and a guided missile cruiser.
   According to a U.S. Navy news release, the group "will conduct
   exercises and port visits to enhance maritime partnerships and promote
   peace and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region along with its
   allies."
   North Korea calls annual joint exercises in the South rehearsals for an
   invasion, and routinely threatens massive retaliation if its sovereign
   territory is breached.
