SEOUL, May 13 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and the United States on Monday began two days of joint naval exercises off the east coast involving the nuclear-powered U.S. aircraft carrier.

The Nimitz Strike Group consists of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) and guided-missile cruisers and destroyers.
South Korea mobilized the Aegis-equipped destroyer King Sejong and the DDH-II class destroyer Chungmugong Yi Sunshin for the exercises. Aegis destroyers of the two countries will carry out missile detection, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft maneuvers, military officials said.
