US navy vessel USGreen Bay (LPD-20) harbored in Bali on Friday in a peace mission, carrying troops scheduled to undertake joint military drill with Indonesian troops, local media reported.

USGreen Bay Commander AM Browne said that the 28,000 ton- deadweight ship, which is loaded with high technology equipment and designed as a training vessel, was made in 2005 and commenced service in 2009.

"This is a supporting vessel to primary warship. It is designed as a training ship," he said as quoted by the viva.co.id, adding that the ship will harbor in Bali until Sunday.

According to Browne, a joint military drill between Indonesian and US troops has been scheduled during the vessel's visit in Bali.
