MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) - The USS Reuben James (FFG 57), an Oliver Hazzard Perry-class guided missile frigate of the United States Navy, arrived here today for a routine port call.

The Philippine Navy said in a statement that the missile frigate is here for replenishment of logistic supplies, routine maintenance of shipboard, and to allow its crew to relax.

The ship, with 24 officers and 172 enlisted personnel, will stay in the Philippines until March 29.

The Philippine Navy said the five-day port visit aims to " highlight historic, community and military connections between the US and the Philippines."
