TALLINN, Estonia: Sailors aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) recently completed theater security cooperation port visits in Helsinki, Finland and Tallinn, Estonia, Oct. 21-27.
The visits come after Cole's participation in Exercise Joint Warrior 09-2, a multilateral exercise with various international partners.
....
Cole hosted a reception in Helsinki, which was joined by Adm. Mark Fitzgerald, commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe, U.S. Naval Forces Africa and Allied Joint Forces Command Naples.
"It is truly great to be here," Fitzgerald said. "We do a lot of work partnering with Finland, and I think it is a great partnership. The capabilities that Finland brings are truly a benefit to the alliance and to the U.S."
....
Immediately following the departure from Helsinki, Cole arrived in Tallinn, Estonia, a few hours later. Tallinn is the capitol of Estonia and is situated on the banks of the Gulf of Finland, south of Helsinki.
