The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer
USS Mitscher (DDG 57), right, provides a warm welcome to the French tallship replica
the Hermione in the vicinity of the Battle of Virginia Capes off the east coast of the United States.The original Hermione brought French General Marquis de Lafayette to America in 1780, to inform General Washington that a French army was headed for the United States to assist the war effort. The symbolic return of the Hermione will pay homage to Lafayette and the Franco-American alliance that brought victory at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. The Hermione will visit Yorktown, Va. June 5 and then continue up the east coast visiting cities of Franco-American historical significance.
