A U.S. missile destroyer will arrive on July 1 in the port of Vladivostok in Russia's Far East on a goodwill visit, a U.S. diplomat said on Tuesday.

The USS Stethem (DDG-63) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. The ship was commissioned with the U.S. Navy on October 21, 1995 and is currently based out of Yokosuka, Japan.

It will be the ship's second visit to Vladivostok. On May 7-11, 2008, the destroyer with 300 crew aboard visited the port to join for the first time Russia's Victory Day celebrations.

This year, the visit coincides with celebration of Vladivostok City Day on July 2, and U.S. Independence Day on July 4.

The source said the crew would take part in a variety of cultural and sports events, and attend the opening of the first Subway fast food franchise in Vladivostok.
