At the Naval Station Norfolk, I had the opportunity to be onboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and we reflected on the strong defence ties between India and the United States, he said in another tweet.
Singh’s visit to the air station gains significance given that India is seriously looking into these options of fighter jets both for its air force and navy.
