A US news crew filming off Trinidad’s south coast recorded two American naval vessels moving through the narrow channel between Trinidad and Venezuela.
ABC News correspondent Matt Rivers was on a fishing boat down the islands when the team observed a destroyer and an amphibious assault ship east. The vessels were too distant for identification, according to the report.
Independent satellite analysts later offered more detail. SA Defensa, an unofficial account tracking naval activity, posted imagery from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 identifying an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and a San Antonio-class landing platform dock in the Gulf of Paria. The account said both ships were positioned off the coasts of Trinidad and Venezuela and in proximity to the USS Iwo Jima, which it placed north of the area.
