U.S. bears arms in India-China rivalry

GOA, INDIA:  US warship 'USS Higgins' is seen between Indian and US flags as she is moored at Marmagoa Port, Goa, 28 September 2005, while taking part in an ongoing joint Indo-US naval exercise.

The exercise which involves the aircraft carriers 'USS Nimitz' and 'INS Viraat' as well as several frigates and submarines which started 25 September will continue until 04 October.
